INTRODIJCTIOI. 



The object of this work is nothing less than to extend the 
connections between leading commercial, manufacturing and mer- 
cantile nnen^ in the cities of the West. 

In the body of this Directory, •each firm or establishment will 
foe made acquainted, as it were by a letter of introduction, with 
•every other principal house on the Western Waters. 

In this number, we may not have brought our plan to thai 
state of perfection which is desirable and practicable. The idea 
did not occur to us in season to make all the collections, necessary 
to a perfect work. But if the present edition shall be so fortu- 
nate as to pay its way, and restore to us our expenditures of 
money, on its account, we shall cheerfully consent to lose our 
care and labor, and make preparations at once to issue a more 
complete Directory for the next year. 

Our design is to make it a medium of acquaintance from city to 
city, not only between business men, but, as it were, between the 
various corporations themselves ; to show each commercial town 
what are the trade, location, wealth, prospect, taxation, debt and 
resources, of all similar places with which it has business relations. 

If we can in this way facilitate the intercourse, or increase the 
mutual knowledge of the citizens of western cities, we think an 
important object will be attained ; and we shall, in order to relieve 
the dryness of a mere table of cards^ statistics and figures, 
insert much matter of historical interest, to which every intelli- 
gent Westerner will turn with satisfaction. 

The scope of our undertaking is such, that it will, when finished 
according to our wishes, include all the important towns west of 
the Allegheny Mountains, connected by navigation, either natural 
or artificial. 

In the historical details of the separate cities, it would be neces- 
sary, in case we should ascend to its remotest occupation, to repeal 

a 



IS Discoveries by the Spaniards. 

many events, some of them many times. For instance, a perfect 
history of the city of Pittsburgh, would embrace the annals of the 
early French discoverers ; New Orleans is in the same condition, 
having been first occupied by the same people in their early en- 
terprises in North America ; Natchez and St, Louis, Vincennes 
and Detroit, have the same origin. From all these places we 
shall procure a compact, yet substantially complete record of their 
annals, and their advance, through the lapse of many generations, 
to the rank of important commercial cities. 

To avoid, as much as possible, the necessity of a tedious repeti- 
tion, we offer a condensed view of these discoveries, as they are 
said to have been made, in the Mississippi Valley, This rapid 
sketch will embrace ail the region now called by the name of the 
West, through which trade has established its channels ; and will 
therefore answer for reference in all cases where the reader is 
desirous to trace the history 5f the city of his residence back to 
the first appearance of civilized man upon its shores. 

Our Directory will thus eventually become the repository of 
a large portion of Western history, in which future generations 
may trace the rise and progress of its commercial greatness. 

THE SPANISH ADVENTURERS. 

The Spanish nation, among other recollections of the days of 
their pride and power, refer to the discovery of the Mississippi, 
as the result of their enterprise and courage. They relate the 
fact, that Ferdinand De Soto, a companion of Pizarro, and emu- 
lous of his fame — a man who had been governor of Cuba — landed 
at Espirito Santo, in Florida, in May, 1539, with 900 men and 
300 horses. 

With a part of this force, he penetrated the forests so far as to 
strike the Mississippi, at the lower ChicJeasaiv Bluffs, in 1541. 
They cross the river, and journey up along its western shore, in 
search of wealthy cities, and rich mines of gold, probably as far 
as New Madrid. Parties of Spaniards went onward towards the 
Mississippi ; but found nothing of the wealth of which they were 
in search. The little army struck into the country on the west, 
and finally rested for the winter on the banks of the Washita. 
In 1542, they return to the river Mississippi, at the mouth of 



Spanish Adventures — De Soto. 19 

Hed river, called the country of the Guackoya. On the 21st of 
May, De Soto died ; and his body, as some authors say, wrapped 
(in a cloak, and others, enclosed in an oak log, was sunk in the waters 
'of the Mississippi. The Spaniards liberated their slaves, and in 
the next spring had prepared barges for descending the river, 

A large number of these warlike adventurers perished miserably 
in combats vi^ith the Indian tribes, by starvation, and by the fatal- 
ity of the climate ; but enough of them survived to relate their 
travels, and to furnish their countrymen with a description of the 
Lower Mississippi. 

Whether this relation was known in France, at the moment 
when her people took up the cause of Western discovery, we 
cannot at this remote day satisfactorily determine. Her foremost 
and most enthusiastic travellers in the new world, leave us to 
infer, that their first knowledge of the existence of that river 
was derived from the natives who inhabited the Upper Lakes. 
But it is a most rational supposition, to think that the}' may have 
heard of the great river of the Spaniards, and j'et regarded the 
stream which the Indians of lake Huron marked out in their rude 
style upon the ground, as another river, occupying a more west- 
erly position, of greater length, and having a different connection 
with the ocean. The French therefore claim the honor of dis- 
covering the Mississippi. 

THE FRENCH DISCOVERERS. 

This people approached the gulf of Mexico, by way of the 
St. Lawrence and the lakes. In the fall of the year 1535, in the 
reign of Francis I., a Frenchman, by the name of Cartier, as- 
cended the river St. Lawrence, as far as the island of Montreal. 
Six years afterwards, a fort or trading post was established at 
Quebec, destined to abandonment in a short time. The site of 
the old fort was revisited by Champlain, in 1603; and, in 1608, 
an association of merchants of Rouen, St. Malo, and La Rochelle, 
commence the city which has since risen to such commercial im- 
portance. In 1620, it was well established, and a good fort 
erected there. 

During the year 1625, the Jesuit missionaries, who had already 
appeared on the banks of the St. Lawrence, carried the cross to 



•20 French Settlements in %B.merica. 

the shores of Lake Huron ; and, in 1634, Daniel and Brebeauf es- 
tablished a permanent missionary station upon its shores. 

It is probable that they reached Lake Huron by way of Lake 
Erie, and the rivers Detroit and St. Clair. 

In 1641, two missionaries, >ff«»z6oM/^ and Jbr/^e*, arrived at 
the Falls of St. Mary's, and found there 200 Nadoivessies, or 
Sioux, disposed to receive the gospel. 

From thence, these devoted ministers of the cross, pressed, in 
considerable numbers, into the Indian country ; offering the rites 
of the Catholic religion, baptism and absolution, to all such as 
would receive them. 

The French traders travelled in company with the Holy Fath- 
ers, gathering rich cargoes of northern furs from the native tribes 
along the Lakes. 

The Abbe Mesnard preached repentance to the Sioux, at Ke- 
wena Bay, on Lake Superior, in 1660 ; but, desirous to spread his 
faith still farther, along these inhospitable shores, he departed for 
Chegoimegou, and perished in the woods. 

Five years afterwards, Father t^//o^^^> reached Chegoimegou, 
and erected a chapel there. The Chippewas, Hurons, (or Wyan- 
dots,) the Sioux ; the Illinois and the Ottawas, inseparable allies 
of the Hurons ; were at this time (October, 1665) in grand coun- 
cil at this place. They spoke of a great river, which they called 
Messipi. 

Nicholas Perrot, a layman, and authorized by the French In- 
tendant of Canada, assembles the nations at St. Mary's in 1671. 
After much friendly intercourse at St. Mary's, Perrot, Marquette, 
and Dablau, proceed to explore the western shore of Lake Michi- 
gan ; and Perrot succeeds in reaching the present site of the city 
of Chicago. Joliet, a French officer, was commissioned to find 
the "'great river;" and, in 1763, being accompanied by Father 
Marquette, two Indian guides, and five voyageurs, they ascended 
the Fox River of Green Bay. On the tenth of June, they drew 
their canoes across the Winnebaga portage, and launched them 
upon the current of the " Ouisconsin." The aborigines depicted 
this stream as dangerous in the extreme ; not only by reason of its 
quicksands, whirlpools, and rapids, but there, and in the great 
river itself, dreadful demons had taken up their abode, who caught 
up all passengers in their horrid embrace. The adventurers per- 



Upper Mississippi Discovered, 21 

sisted, however, in their voyage, and, in seven days, floated out 
into the broad channel of the Mississippi, unhurt. Here, having 
accomplished the glorious object of their mission in safety, they 
offer thanks to Almighty God for his protection, standing on the 
banks of the mightiest river of the world. On its shores, and es- 
pecially along the borders of the Wiskonsin, they beheld such 
scenery as no traveller had seen before them — the rolling upland 
prairie, spread out beyond the sweep of vision, on every side a 
meadow clothed in the deepest green. They saw every variety 
of game feeding on the hill sides, which was easily brought down 
by their muskets ; and having feasted their bodies upon the fish, 
fowl, and wild meat of the region, and their eyes with the surpas- 
sing beauty of the great valJey, the threshhold of which only was 
passed, they committed themselves to the guidance of the newly 
found river of their desires. 

They floated onward to the mouth of ihe Ohio, which thev 
call the " Ouabache,^' where they found a band of the Shawnees 
residing. They even continued to sail downward, to the mouth 
of the Arkansas ; but here terminated the expedition. 

Joliet returns to Quebec, by way of the Illinois River and Chi- 
cago creek, to lay the results of the journey before his patron, the 
Intendant Talon. Talon is overjoyed to learn that his Nouvelle 
France, in addition to lakes of greater extent and purer water 
than any in the known world, embraced a luxuriant domain, equal 
to all Europe, and rivers upon a scale of greater magnificence 
than the other displays of nature in this hidden world. 

Marquette remained with the Miamies about the south end of 
Lake Michigan, until May, 1675, inculcating the precepts of the 
Gospel. He was already advanced in life, and exhausted by trav- 
el and exposure. Coasting along the eastern shore of the lake, 
he steered his canoe into the mouth of a creek, which now bears 
his nanf.e. He landed upon the shore, and retired amid the trees, 
fragrant with the buds and flowers of spring, to pray in secret — 
knelt down upon the ground — and was soon after found dead at 
the same place. 

But mankind have awarded to the Chevalier La Salle the merit 
■of making the first thorough exploration of the Mississippi, and 
•of establishing settlements upon its waters. He constructed the 
first vessel which spread her white wings upon the waters of Lake 



22 La Salle. 

Erie. The Grijin, a sail-craft of 60 tans, was launched at the 
mouth of Tonewanda Creek, on the 7th of August, 1679. She 
pursued her course through the lake, the Detroit river, and the 
Lake of the Hurons, to Mackinaw, on the peninsula of Michigan,i 
where a trading post and fort were established. 

The GrifSn was loaded with furs, on her return, to the great* 
joy of Monsieur La Salle. In her were the results of many yearS 
of incredible exertion — his entire fortune, and with it, the re- 
sources that were to sustain bis enterprise. She was heard of no 
more. The adventurer took canoes, and coasted down the east- 
ern shore of Lake Michigan. He ascended the St. Joseph's ; and 
finding a low swampy tract, which communicated with a southern 
stream, be transported their light vessels into the Kankakee, 
and down it to the Illinois. On its banks, they built the fort 
of Crevecceur, or the " broken heart ;" signifying the forlorn state 
their feelings at the time. Here they winter in 1779-80, and a- 
await the return of the Grififin. 

It was not until 17S2 that La Salle himself descended the river, 
determined to find its discharge into the ocean. 

At the Chickasaw Bluffs, he erected a cabin ; at the mouth of 
the Arkansas, raised a cross \ and, sailing with the principal chan- 
nel, on the 9th of April, he sav/ the Gulf of Mexico. Here he 
planted the arms of France, in token of possession, and returned 
by way of Creveceur and the lakes, to the city of Paris. 

To the French court, the affair appeared to be of high import- 
ance. It was determined that the ^^ Meschasebe^^ should become 
the residence of Frenchmen ; and La Salle was provided with ybwr 
vessels, 100 soldiers, and 180 artisans, to effect this object. 

They enter the gulf, but pass the mouths of the Great River, 
\vithout being able to find them ; and landing finally at the Bay 
of Matagorda, erect Fort St. Louis, in June, 1685. After suffer- 
ing at this post a year and a half, the Chevalier departs by land, 
in search of the "fatal river," with a company of sixteen men. 
Twenty-four, the remnant of his armament, remain at the fort. 
On the Trinity river, one of his men kills his nephew ; and when 
La Salle inquires after the young man, they strike him to the 
earth, where be dies. 

But the system of colonization was not abandoned, on account 
of the loss of its pioneer. La Salle had established a fort andj 



La Salle in Texas — New Oi'leans Settled. g3 

a trading post on the St. Joseph's, called Fort Miami ; and his 
party, soon after his arrival on the Illinois, located a station on the 
Kaskaskias. Monsieur D'Iberville, reached the mouth of the 
Mississippi, in 1699, as the successor of La Salle : built a fort; and 
ascended to the village of the Natchez. As he crossed the low 
ground after landing, and walked up the hill in view of the Indi- 
an town, he was so much delighted with the beauty of the spot, 
that he immediately traced out a fort, and called it Rosalie, 
after the Duchess of Pontchartrain. 

In returning, he met an English ship of 12 guns, claiming for 
the crown of Great Britain the entire region which the French 
had traversed. They (the English) insisted that Cabot had dis- 
covered the entire coast of Florida, as this region was then called, 
by sailing along the Atlantic shore. But being at once ordered 
to depart, they did so, threatening, as they went, to return in the 
following year with force, and drive away these French interlopers. 
But they did not come ; and the next year more Frenchmen ar- 
rived, who made the first settlement at the Isle of Dauphin. In 
1712, this place wa« abandoned^ but "Maubile" and Biloxi con- 
tinued. This was the year of Crozafs grant, bounded on the 
North by the Illinois. 

Crozat resigns his monopoly in 1717, and John Laid^s great 
'" Company of the Indies," take possession of Louisiana, as Mon- 
sieisr D'Iberville chose to call it. The governor, M< Bieiiville, 
selects New Orleans as a post of trade and defence. In 1719, 
France and Spain being at open war, the French fall upon Pensa- 
cola, a Spanish town, which they capture and occupy; but the 
Spaniards repossess themselves of the place, and the French 
colonial troops again invest and carry the fo<rt. Hitherto the 
Council General of the celony had been fixed at Beloxi ; but in 
^721, the officials and their attaches removed to New Orleans; a 
place which, from that hour, has not ceased to be a capital. 

New France was therefore divided into two provinces, Canada 
and L:)uisiana; but what constituted New France, geographically 
•considered, was by no means reduced to a certainty. By the 
treaty of Utrecht, in 1713, the French king had yielded New 
Foundland auvl Hudson's Bay to the English. The latter colony 
began at a point or promontory of the Atlantic, in latitude 58° 30' 
north; thence to Lake Mastassin^ thence south-west to the 49th

parallel, and with it west indefinitely. New York claimed all nortfo 
of the 40th degree, and west of New England and the Ottawa Riv- 
er, even to the 49th parallel; Virginia all between 36§° and 40°. 

The French had planted a colony at Port Royal on the Carolina 
coast, in 1652; which being abandoned, was revived in 1654, as 
a refuge for the persecuted Huguenots or Calvinists. But Melen- 
dez D'Aviles of Spain, armed with a commission to destroy all 
heretics, fell upon Fort Carolina and took it, Sept. 25, 1655. 

Because Melendez had massacred all the Protestants taken at 
Fort Carolina, Dominic Be Gourges, a Calvinist of Gascony, de- 
termined upon revenge; and providing himself with three ships 
and 150 men, he sailed to Florida, and surprised three Spanish 
ships at the mouth of the St. Matheo, by us called the St. Johns, 
He repaired thence to Fort Carolina, and took possession of the 
post. Melendez having massacred the Huguenots, as he said, not 
as Frenchmen, but as Calvinists, De Gourges hung his prisoners 
upon a tree, and attached to it a notice, that they were not exe- 
cuted as Spaniards or mariners, but as pirates, robbers, and mur- 
derers. But France formally relinquished the whole south Atlan- 
tic coast, and Spain resumed it as far narth as Cape Fear. 

In 174S, the French insisted upon the following line as dividing 
them from the British colonies: Beginning at the mouth of the 
Apalachicola river and the gulf of Mexico; thence up the same to 
its source, and with the Allegheny ridge to the sources of the Sus- 
quehannah; thence in a right line to Fort Cohasser an the Con- 
necticut river, near Long Falls; and from this point north-east- 
ward, parallel to the St. Lj^wrence, to the Kennebec; with it to 
the sea, and across the bay of Fundy to Cape Causo. 

The English offered to accept of a boundary — for the north, the 
lakes and St. Lawrence; and the west, a line from Presque Isle 
on lake Erie, through French creek, to the Apalachian range, ag 
claimed by the French themselves. But the treaty of Aix la Cha- 
pelle was signed; and by it, nothing was settled respecting their 
colonial limits. 

Thus the war of 1754 came on, without any fixed understanding 
of boundary : in fact, it occurred principally in consequence of the 
common title set up by the two nations to the Ohio country. The 
"Ohio Campany"^was authorised by the British Parliament, ita

1749, to locate 600,000 acres on the Ohio and its waters ; and to 
have an exclusive trade with the Indians. 

Christopher Gist, their principal agent, with his surveyors, en- 
tered the country in 1751, and explored the Great Miami. In 
1752, he established a trading post and temporary defences on 
this river, at the mouth of Loramie's creek; of which the French 
soon had information, and came with an armed force to capture the 
station. This they accomplished very easily, took the Knglish 
prisoners, killed 14 Piankeshaws who sustained them, and carried 
the goods collected there to their forts on the Miami of the Lakes. 
And to prevent the Ohio Company realizing their expectations, 
they took possession of anew route, covering it with posts. From 
Presque Isle, they made a portage to French creek, and erected a 
fort upon it. At its mouth, on the Allegheny, they construct Fort 
Vernon, and provide it with a garrison. The governor of Vir- 
ginia, regarding those posts as clearly within his colony, consider- 
ed the proceeding as nothing less than an invasion; and, to enquire 
into the matter, sent George Washington, in the fall of 1753, with 
a letter to St. Pierre, the commandant at Fort Du Beuf, on 
French creek. 

In the spring, Governor Dinwiddie raised a iew men, and or- 
dered them to construct a Fort, at the mouths of the Monongahe- 
la and the Allegheny rivers. Ensign fVard and 40 soldiers had 
scarcely begun to cut pickets, when Monsieur Contreceur de- 
scended the Allegheny, accompanied by a formidable body of In- 
dian and French troops. They took possession of the Virginians 
as prisoners, and built Fort Du Quesne. The war may now be 
said to have commenced. It resulted in the treaty of Paris, in 
1763; by which France ceded to England all her claims and ter- 
ritories in North America, east of the Mississippi, to the river 
Iberville and lake Pontchartrain. 

At the beginning of the war, they had in possession 38 garri- 
sons and trading posts, located as follows: 

Beginning at the north, at the head of the bay of Fundy, Fort 
Chiynecio. 

A fort at the head of Bay Verte, on the opposite side of the 
peninsula of New Brunswick. 

Fort St. John, mouth of St. John's river. 

Cohasser, on the Connecticut, below Long Falls. 



26 French Posts. 

Fortifications around Quebec. 

Fort Sorel, on the St. Lawrence, at the mouth of Sorel river, 
west side. 

Fort Chambli, on lake Champlain, at the head of Sorel river; 
Fort Frederick, or Crown Point. 

Frontenac, near Kingston; and a fort at the portage between 
the Ottawa river and lake Abittibis, near lake Simcoe. 

At Niagara, mouth of Niagara river, east side. 

Fort Erie, opposite Buffalo; a fort at Presque Isle, now Erie, 
Pa; another at the end of the portage to French creek, called 
Le Beuf; Fort Venango, at its mouth on the Allegheny, then 
called the Ohio. 

Fort Du Quesne, at the forks of the Ohio. 

Fort Sandusky, near Sandusky city. 

Fort of the Miamihas (Miamies) on the Maumee, not far from 
Defiance; Fort Pontchartrain, at Detroit; St. Joseph's, on the river 
St. Joseph's, of lake Michigan, some miles from the lake; one at 
Mackinaw on the main-land, south of the island; one at St. Francis 
Xavier, a short distance above Green Bay, on the Fox river; fort 
La Roche, and fort of the Miamies on the Illinois, near each other 
on opposite sides of the river, above lake Peoria; Fort Orleans, on 
an island in the " Missuri," above Grand river. 

Fort St. Louis, nearly opposite Cahokia. 

Fort Charlres, a permanent work near Kaskaskias. 

A stockade at the mouth of the Wabash, and mouth of the Ohio. 

Fort Massac, on the Ohio; and Fort Vincents, on the Wabash; 
the fort of the " Ouatanous," at the portage from the Wabash to 
the Miami of the lakes, above Eel river. Some authorities place 
a post at the mouth of the Scioto, on the Kentucky side. There 
was a station near St. Mary's in the county of Mercer, Ohio, at 
the portage between the St. Mary's and the Great Miami, Fort 
Kappa, at the mouth of the St. Francis, Mississippi, southern 
bank; at the mouth of the Arkansas, on the north bank; and sta- 
tions up the river. Fort Rosalie, at Natchez; Fort Balise at the 
mouth of the Mississippi; a fort on Isle Dauphin; Fort Canada, at 
the head of Mobile Bay; and Fort Toulouse, on the Alabama, lat- 
itude 32° 20' north. 

An English author, writing in 1747, says of these works, tljat 
many of them are mere ''extempore stockades," which the 



Early English Discoveries. 27 

French, " by way of ostentation," call forts, and they " are a great 
nuisance to our American colonies." Of their troops, he ob- 
serves, there are twenty-eight marine companies, composed princi- 
pally of " racaille or gaol-birds" from France; who cannot "be 
depended upon." 

In 1760, the English were in possession of Oswego; a post 
which had been a French establishment. 

We have thus given a cursory sketch of the discoveries and oc- 
cupation of the French, in the valley of the Mississippi, to 1763. 
The English, like the Spaniards and French, have pretensions to 
the discovery of the same region. 

EARLY ENGLISH DISCOVERIES. 

The British, whose vessels sailed into the Mississippi in 1696 
and 1699, based their right upon the discovery of John Cabot, 
and Sebastian his son, who saw and explored the Atlantic coast 
of the northern States, in 1497. The son spent twenty years in 
these explorations ; but always at the north ; and is not known to 
have entered the gulf of Mexico. In 1583, Secretary Woolsing- 
ham dispatched vessels of discovery, that entered the river St. 
Lawrence ; and Douglass insists, that their flag was seen on its 
shores as early as 1527. Capt. Thomas Hutchins, of the 60th 
regiment of foot, in his account of Florida and Louisiana, asserts, 
that Col. Woods traversed the mountains from Virginia, in 1654, 
and reached the Mississippi ; and also, that Capt. Bolt performed 
the same journey in 1670. 

Col. Spotswood crossed the Alleghenies in 1710, for the purpose 
of establishing a land company in the colony of Virginia, of which 
he was governor. A Virginian, Dr. Thomas Walker, passed the 
Cumberland Gap, in 1750, who was followed by English traders 
descending the Ohio, during the next year. This was the year of 
the occupation and surveys of the London "Ohio Company." 
In Coxe's "Collection of Voyages," (A. D. 1741,) there is a map 
of the " Sakagoula," or " Mescha" (great) " Cebe" river of the 
West; and in "Douglass' Summary," published in 1760, Mr. 
Huskes has placed a map of the West, embracing, not only the . 
Mississippi and Missouri, but a large river heading near the latter, 
and leading with a navigable current to the Western Ocean. In 



28 Occupation of the Ohio. 

1752, Lewis Evans publishes a map of Kentucky ; but none of 
these geographers appear to have explored the regions portrayed 
upon their plans. The details of the visits of Woods, Bolt and 
Walker, are wanting ; and, consequently, much doubt is thrown 
upon their statements. 

But Gist and Washington kept regular journals of their travels, 
which are still preserved. The Iroquois, who were in alliance 
with the colonies of New- York and Virginia, effectually prevent- 
ed the French from passing from lake Erie to the head waters of 
the Ohio, until 1739, when Monsieur Z)e Zon^ewzV reached the 
Allegheny, and descended the river in a pirogue. 

Gist's survey of the Ohio, and of the Great Miami to Loromies, 
in 1751, and the establishment of a post there in '52, are the first 
substantial acts of English occupation west of the Mountains. 
The second, was the arrival of Ensign Ward and forty-one men 
at the site of Pittsburgh, two years after. Both Loramies and 
Pittsburgh were immediately captured by the French. The pos- 
session of the Ohio country was, however, finally secured to the 
English, by the recapture of Fort Duquesne, in 1758, under 
General Forbes. 

As to their rights by discovery on the St. Lawrence, although 
Charles L had authorized David Kerkte, a protestant refugee 
from France, to invade Canada; and although, in 1629, he cap- 
tured Quebec, the principal city ; it was restored by treaty, in 
1632. Yet, in 1711, Queen Anne contended, that the French 
held of her as fiefs ; and in 1712, a heavy expedition, of sixty- 
eight vessels and 6000 men, advanced against the city of Quebec. 
A tempest destroyed many ships and 1000 men in the St. Law- 
rence river, and the enterprise was abandoned. 

Thus the real basis of their claims to the St. Lawrence, the 
Lakes, and the Mississippi, is that of conquest in war, from the 
French : an achievement completed by Wolfe, in his last victory 
at Quebec. 

We are thus again at that period when so many political chan- 
ges occurred in North America — the year 1763. 



English Dominion^ 29 



THE ENGLISH AND SPANISH DOMINION. 

The treaty of Paris, February 13, 1763, transferred Canada 
and most of Louisiana to England. England, at the same time, 
relinquished Havanna to Spain. Spain, in return, ceded Florida 
to England ; and, in April, France, by a secret treaty, yields 
Louisiana to Spain. 

It was more than a year before the French on the Mississippi 
were informed of this transfer ; and five years passed until the 
arrival of the Spanish Captain-General Don Antonio D'Ulloa. 
The colonists were so much displeased, that his successor, O'Reil- 
ly, thought it necessary to have 3000 troops at New Orleans, to 
hang six of the principal citizens, and shoot five of the crown 
officers. There were, besides the Captain-General, a civil officer 
called an Intendant, who appears to have been a kind of court of 
appeals from the commandants and vice-governors. A Sub or 
Deputy Governor resided at St. Louis. The military Command- 
ant of each Post exercised, in the absence of the Governor, su- 
preme civil and military authority. On complaint, he notified 
the defendant, that he must forthwith do justice. This being dis- 
regarded, the oftender is ordered to appear, and submit to judg- 
ment. If he failed to answer that summons, a file of soldiers 
brought him into the presence of the Commandant, who admin- 
istered justice according to his own ideas of right, and the laws 
of Spain. Writers diflfer as to the equity with which this system 
operated on the inhabitants. Mr. Breckenridge asserts, that the 
system was mild, just, and acceptable to the people. Mr. Flint 
remarks, that the Commandant was, in general, an ignorant and 
despotic man, whose legislation and execution centered in his 
cane ; that the government may be summed up in a few words, 
viz : a commandant, a priest, a file of soldiers, and a " calaboasa.^^ 

On the left bank, and the Lakes, the colonial institutions of 
Great Britain were in operation, so far as inhabitants were found, 
over whom their sway could be exercised. The French, at their 
villages, forts and trading posts, generally retired to Canada, or 
the Spanish towns. A few still prosecuted their trade among the 
Indian tribes. In 1760, two hundred persons had collected about 
Fort Pitt. On the Monongahela, a settlement had been formed 



30 Dominion of Spain and England. 

prior to 1758, called the Decker Settlement, which being cut off 
by the Indians, restrained the frontier adventurers until 1765. 
In 1773, a company of discharged soldiers from the Virginia 
militia descend the Ohio to the Falls, and locate their bounty 
lands, 

A grant of Indiana had been made, in 1768, to Samuel Wharton, 
William Treat, and George Morgan, But what constituted In- 
diana, does not distinctly appear. Prior to 1774, Wheeling had 
been established, and was becoming a place of consequence in 
Western affairs. 

Col. George Rogers Clarke, and 300 soldiers, the troops of "Vir- 
ginia, reach Corn Island, at the Falls of the Ohio, in the spring of 
1778, which resulted in a settlement and cultivation of land. 
The war of the Revolution then raging on the east of the Moun- 
tains, justified Col. Clarke in making an assault upon the English 
Posts at Kaskaskia and Vincennes, in the succeeding fall and 
winter. He took both these garrisons, and kept possession of 
them till the peace of 1783. 

The colonial troops had, in the mean time, garrisoned Fort Pitt, 
Fort M'Intosh, Fort Laurens, and the Fort at Point Pleasant; 
expeditions had been made against the Indians in alliance with 
Great Britain ; and a virtual conquest of the country bordering 
the Ohio on the north, had been made in the name of the Colonies 
or of the Confederation of the States. This was acknowledged 
and confirmed by the treaty with England, January 10, 1783, 
twenty years after she had acquired the country from France. 
From that moment, one-half of the Valley of the Mississippi, 
shaking off the monarchical principle, became republican soil. 
The right bank of that stream retained its feudal and absolute 
character twenty years longer. In 1789, the Spanish Minister, 
Count Z)'./^ranc?«, proposed to make three kingdoms in America, 
one for each of the infants. By this scheme, her territories 
were to cease to be colonies; but monarchy, in its most odious 
form, was to be made hereditary on the banks of the Mississippi. 

Another of the Spanish projects in America, had been made 
known the year before ; and it was a proposition to the Americans 
west of the Mountains, to form a separate empire, in consideration 
of the free navigation of the Mississippi. These designs all failed 
of execution. At the close of the eighteenth century, Bonaparte

began to form projects relative to America, and persuaded Spain 
to cede Louisiana to France. The Spanish Forces had made a 
conquest of Florida from England, during the American war, 
and now held an immense territory in North America. On the 
1st of October, A. D. 1800, a treaty or convention is signed by 
France and Spain, at St. Ildefonso, by which Louisiana is to pass 
into the hands of Napoleon. It was confirmed and reiterated in 
the treaty of Madrid, March 21, 1801 ; but it was stipulated, that 
in case of a disposal of the territory by France, Spain should have 
the refusal of it. France thus became possessed a second time of 
the fruits of her early discoveries on the gulf of Mexico. 

THE SECOND DOMINION OF FRANCE. 

New circumstances arising, gave rise to changes in the policy 
of the Consul, in regard to Louisiana. The assumption of civil 
authority was delayed. Laressat the prefect, and Jlytni the 
chief judge, at last arrived at New Orleans, in the winter of 1803 ; 
but the Captain-General Victor was prevented from leaving the 
Dutch coast, with his armament, by the war with England break- 
ing out afresh after the peace of Amiens. 

Bonaparte, to prevent the English from making a conquest of 
the territory, and to procure money for his vast civil undertakings, 
determines at once to sell this province to the United States. 
Without knowing of his determination, Mr. Jefferson, President 
of the United States, dispatches a special envoy (Mr. Monroe) to 
negotiate for the island of Orleans. The population of the Amer- 
ican side of the valley had expanded to the number of 800,000, 
and the free use of the river became indispensable. 

On the 27th of October, 1795, the Spanish government had 
granted a right of depot for three years ; and by mutual consent 
it had continued without repeal, until the 16th of October, 1802, 
when the Intendant Morales suddenly brought it to a termination. 
There was a party in the country, particularly at the West, who 
were for taking military possession at once. Mr. Jefferson had 
no farther design than to secure the remaining portion of the left 
bank, and instructed Mr. Monroe to offer 2,000,000 of dollars. 
A motion is made in the Senate, that ^5,000,000 and 50,000 
troops be placed at the disposal of the President, to take possession 



J^

of New Orleans ; but it did not carry, and Mr. Jefferson relied 
upon pacific measures. 

Mr. Monroe, on reaching France, was astonished to learn, that 
the French ruler had already decided to sell, not only a part, but 
all of Louisiana ; and the only question to be discussed, was the 
price in money to be paid for it. On the 10th of March, the 
Spanish authorities, being still in the exercise of their functions, 
consent to give us a place of deposite in New Orleans for western 
produce. But, unknown to all on this side of the water, and to 
Spain and England on the other, the treaty of cession was ma- 
turing, and, on the 30th of April, was settled by the commission- 
ers. The United States gave 80,000,000 of francs, from which 
20,000,000 were deducted, for spoliations upon our commerce. 

As soon as the papers were signed, the three negotiators, 
Barbi Marbois, Mr. Livingston and Mr. Monroe, transported 
with sentiments of joy, that so great a matter had been disposed 
of to the mutual honor and satisfaction of all, rose and grasped each 
other's hands with the utmost enthusiasm. Mr. Livingston ex- 
claimed, "We have lived long, but this is the noblest work of our 
lives. The treaty which we have just signed has not been ob- 
tained by art, nor dictated by force. Equally advantageous to 
the two contracting parties, it will change vast solitudes into 
flourishing districts. The United States will re-establish the 
maritime rights of all the world, now usurped by a single nation. 
The instruments we have just signed, will cause no tears to be 
shed ; they prepare ages of happiness for innumerable generations 
of human creatures." 

The article guaranteeing protection to property, and the enjoy- 
ment of liberty, with the free exercise of religion, was drawn up 
by the hand of Napoleon. 

"Let the Louisianians," said he, "know, that we separate our- 
selves from them with regret; that we stipulate in their favor every 
thing which they can desire; and let them hereafter, happy in 
their independence, recollect that they have been Frenchmen, 
and that France, in ceding them, has secured for them advantages 
which they could not obtain from an European power, however 
paternsfl it might have been. Let them retain for us sentiments 
of affection; and may their common origin, descent, language, and 
customs, perpetuate the friendship." 

The Spaniards were now required to execute the treaty of St. 



J[}ominion of the Untied Slates, $9 

f Idefonso. They accordingly delivered the forts and posts on the 
Mississippi to Monsieur Laussat and his agents, on the 30th of 
November, 1803. The reign of France was short and provisional. 
"On the 26th of December, the French prefect, the American gov- 
'eraor, Claiborne, and General Wilkinson, commanding the United 
States troops, who had entered the city as the Spaniards embarked, 
assembled at the City Hall. Laussat made a formal transfer of 
the province, and Claiborne received it in execution of the treaty. 
While this ceremony was passing in the Hall, the American 
iflag was brought to the foot of the flag-staff, at the top of which 
floated the colors of France. As one rose the other descended, 
and meeting midway, remained some moments mutually entwined. 
When the flag of the Union rose in the air, the Americans could 
mo longer suppress their shouts of joy; but the French guard, alive 
to the scene, expressed the deepest regrets, and as a last homage 
to the illustrious banner of their country, the leader wrapped it 
around his body and paraded the streets at the head of his troops, 
and finally deposited this symbol of the power and glory of France 
with the late prefect, Mr. Laussat. 

THE DOMINION OF THE UNITED STATES. 

A few words will express what we have to say of the power 
now in the possession of the Mississippi. 

Congress divides the territory of Louisiana on the 20th of May, 
1804, and the northern territory is attached to Indiana. On the 
22d of January, 1812, the state of Louisiana is formed, by adopting 
a republican constitution. 

In 1805, Governor Harrison of Indiana, divides Upper Louisi- 
ana into six districts or counties. These districts had, in 1810, 
the following population, of whom 8,011 were slaves: 

St» Charles, - > - 3,505

Both banks of the river, under the impulse of our people, who 
derive their enterprise from the happy and free nature of their 
government, are now occupied by constitutional states, as far 
north as the latitude of the Lakes. 

Population has spread itself to its source, and commerce enliv- 
ens its entire length. In 1712, there were supposed to be but 28 
families resident on the Mississippi and its waters. Now, there 
are 6,000,000 of souls.

EIVER COMMERCE. 



The earliest commercial transactions on the western waters, 
were the operations in furs, in the days of Joliet and La Salle. 
This was a profitable trade, carried on in bark canoes, and centred 
at Quebec. The French extended their traffic by degrees to all 
the Upper Mississippi and its tributaries, particularly the Missouri, 
Illinois, and the Ouabash. The reign of the English traders was 
short, and the scope of the Americans, who succeeded them in 
the Ohio country, was comparatively limited. 

Next followed the pirogues, batteaus, and non-descripts, which 
floated the pioneers and their families down the Ohio. 

The first trip to New Orleans from Pittsburgh and back, was 
made in 1776 by Gibson and Linn, who returned in the spring 
of 1777, with their boats and cargoes, consisting of 136 kegs of 
powder. 

It is stated by Breckenridge, that as early as 1746, there were 
800,000 pounds of flour delivered at N. Orleans, from the French 
settlements on the Mississippi, Illinois and Wabash. This is 
equal to 400 tons, and with the furs that were now taken down 
the river, must have been transported in boats that returned again 
laden with goods. 

As the trade of the Ohio river increased, the keel boat was 
brought out, larger, more secure and comfortable, than the open 
canoe, pirogue, or batteaux. 

They had a capacity of about 30 tons each. In July, 1794, a 
line composed of two of these boats, fitted up in extraordinary 
style, was established between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. A part 
of the recommendation, as published in the " Northwestern Cen- 
tinel," is expressed in the following words: 



36 Early Transportation — Keels and Steamers, 

" No danger need be apprehended from the enemy, aa every* 
person on board will be under cover, made proof against rifle or 
musket balls, and convenient port holes for firing oat of. Each 
of the boats are armed with six pieces, carrying a pound ball, also 
a number of good muskets, and amply supplied with plenty of 
ammunition J strongly manned with choice hands, and masters of 
approved knowledge.'^ 

On the keel hoatj an improvement or an enlargement wa& 
made which added much to the importance of the craft and ex- 
tended its measurement to 100 tons. This boat was called the 
^ Barge J"* The Flat Boat is a more modern invention than the 
bargej brought into use by the demand for lumber at New Or- 
leans. When saw mills began to operate on the Ohio and its 
branches, the flat boat was easily built; it carried securely from 
50 to 80 tons, and would sell for timber and lumber at the end of 
the voyage. In the year 1811, the keel boat stood at the head of 
western craft. The schooners, brigs, and ships, built at Pitts- 
burgh and Marietta, took out cargoes on their way to the Gulf, 
but never returned. 

From 1811 to 1817, keels and barges divided the transporta- 
tion. During these six years, steamboats were first known upon 
these rivers, but they for the most part only descended with the 
current, and were seen no more. Freighters had no confidence 
in them, which is not wonderful, when we remember that no one 
of them could stem the current of an upward voyage until 181", 
and no regular trip down and back was made until 1817. See 
Sketch of Pittsburgh. 

In 1794, the up-river trade from Cincinnati is said to have been 
performed by four or Jive keels, making monthly trips. 

In 1810, the freight from New Orleans for the Ohio river, is 
estimated at 300 tons, which appears to be a low calculation; for 
three years after and in 1813, it is put at ten times that amount, or 
3000 tons. The down-river freight was probably more than 
twice the weight of the return cargo. Barge freight up stream 
from New Orleans to Cincinnati was four ot five dollars per hun- 
dred; and this was a reduction upon charges during the exclusive 
dominion of keels. But in low and even ordinary stages of water, 
the barge could not surmount the falls, and here delivered her 
load to the keel above. 



increase of Steamers and Flat Boats, 37 

The total of the ascending tonnage of the Ohio river is reckoned 
hy Morgan Neville, Esq. at 2000 tons for the year IS 17, brought 
«i8p by 20 barges. He supposes there were then in existence 150 
keels of 30 tons capacity on an average, principally employed -in 
the " Upper Ohio." The successful results of the steam boats of 
Fulton and French, drove the keels and barges from these waters. 
At the close of this year, the Orleans, Pittsburgh, Vesuvius, 
Franklin, Harriet and WasMngton^ six larg€ boats, had been 
built by Fulton, or upon his plan. The Despatch, Comet, and 
Enterprise, smaller boats, by Fi'eneh, according to his patent of 
1809, with vibrating cylinders. 

The Oliver Evans, btiilt by William Evans at Pittsburgh, on 
another plan, had exploded at Point-Coupee. But only the En- 
terprise and Washington had returned to the Ohio. Six other 
boats had been constructed at various points. 

In 1818, twenty-nine new boat« came out, one of which, tlie 
General Pike, was the first of the class of passenger boats. In 
1819, thirty-one. were launched, and by the year 1S25, it was 
supposed that the combined wealth and ingenuity of man could 
add nothing to the splendor or the speed of a western steamboat. 

It will not be supposed that our accounts of the navigation of 
!the early days, are strictly correct. Statistics were then seldom 
thought of, and the recollections of intelligent men differ very ma- 
terially. Some say that the barge seldom made more than one 
trip to New Orleans aiad back, in a year; others, that it might be 
made in a hundred days, and in general in six months. Of the 
tnumber and tonnage of keel-boats, less certainty exists than of any 
thing else; but the informatioa we have should not be rejected^ 
while we have no other or better. With the increase of steam- 
boats, there came also an increase in the number of flat-boats. 

Up to the close of 1827, 256 steamers had been built, of which 
73 had gone out of use, leaving 183 in service. 

If we put 30 of these boats in the New Orleans trade for the 
Ohio river, and allow 100 tons as the usual up-river freight, they 
ferought about 18,000 tons of groceries and other merchandize 
into the country; which would be an increase of 16,000 for ten 
years. 

At the commencement of 1834, there were 230 steam-boats doing 
ijusiness on the western rivers. At the close of 1835, 588 boats 



3S Steainboat Losses — Increase of Freight, 

had been constructed in the West, and 292 of them were out of 
use; 296 remaining in trade. Of the missing, 40 had been snagged 
and 30 burnt; and to the year 1832, 21 had exploded, killing 139 
persons that were known, and others unknown. 

From 1822 to 1827, the number of boats snagged is stated to 
have been sixteen, involving the loss of ^1,362,500 in property. 
For the next five years, from 1827 to 1832, 10 boats with a loss 
of ^381,000, — a difference between the property destroyed and 
the number of boats, which appears quite too great. By the form- 
er, the average of each boat is ^85,156; by the latter, |13S,100. 

The number of flat-boats descending the Mississippi and its 
tributaries was estimated in 1832 at 4,000, carrying each 60 to 70 
tons. In 1842, the number was still put at 4,000. The number 
of steam-boats then running was estimated at 450, with an average 
burden of 200 tons, or 90,000 in the aggregate. These, with the 
4,000 flat-boats, had the capacity of transporting from the upper 
countr}"- to Orleans, 1,635,000 tons per year. 

The increase of boats, to facilitate transportation, is a pretty fair 
index to the increase of property requiring transporting: but for 
products taken out of the country, by way of the Mississippi, we 
have a more certain way of arriving at the amount. The commer- 
cial editors in New Orleans, present 5^earlj statements of the re- 
ceipts and exports of that city — a point where all the western 
produce takes ship. We give the principal articles landed there 
in 1825 and in 1843, inclusive, by which a contrast of eighteen 
years improvement is presented to the eye.

COMMERCE OF THE MISSOURI AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI. 



The Missouri river, explored by the French in 1705, is now 
a commercial channel of importance. The steam boat "Inde- 
pendence," built at Pittsburgh in 1818, 50 tons burden, was the 
first to ascend the Missouri by the force of steam. 

The "Western Engineer," of the same place, was built in the 
same year, by Major Long, of the Topographical Engineers, for 
ttie exploring expedition, and reached Council Bluffs, 650 miles 
above the mouth of the river. In the year 1838, there were 
seventeen boats in the Missouri trade, making ninety-six trips in 
the season. In 1839, thirty-five boats and 141 trips; 1840, 28 
boats, 147 trips; 1841, boats 32, trips 162; 1842, 28 boats, trips 
188; and in 1843, 26 boats made 205 trips, or 64 more than 35 



40 Commerce of Missouri and Upper Mississippu 

boats had accomplished in 1839. This increase in the number of 
passages, may be in part due to the speed of boats, but must be 
owing mainly to the removal of snags and obstructions from the 
channel of the river. 

The Upper Mississippi is now attracting attention by the rapid 
increase of its exports. There arrived from this region at St. 
Louis, 

In 1841, 143 steamboats and 108 keels; 

« 1842, 195 « « 88 " 

" 1843, 244 « « 55 « 

It has been considered that nature forbids a regular navigation of 
the Upper Mississippi, by interposing rocks and ice. But here is 
a statement of the winter obstructions, showing them to be much 
less than upon the Lakes of the North. The River closed at 
St. Louis,

1842, " 26, « 1843, April 15, " « 139. 
In 1841, there was received at St. Louis from the mining 

region 152,814 pigs of Lead— in 1842, 447,856—1843, 531,321, 
and during the three years lead in the form of shot to the amount 
of 50,000 pigs. Copper is now produced in small quantities; in 
1843 of the value of ^11,000, expected to double in 1844. The 
value of Lead annually smelted on the Mississippi, is put at 
81,000,000. The amount received at New Orleans from 1828 to 
1840, 2,966,362 pigs. 

The entire steamboat tonnage of the United States, in Septem- 
ber, 1842, was 218,994 tons, and of this 126,278, or more than 
one half, does business on the western waters. The number of 
boats in 1842 was estimated for the Mississippi and its branches 
at 450, and during 1843 120 were built. The first estimate of 
the number has been much questioned, and the general impression 
seems to be, that there were on the 1st of January, 1844, 600 
steamers afloat. They are rated at 200 tons each, which would 
give 120,000 tons. If the official returns of tonnage in 1842 are 
correct, there is still an under-estimate either in the number or 
capacity of our boats.

The best records of the number of Boats lost within ybwr years 
from the 1st of January, 1844, show the startling fact that 225 
steam vessels have been thus disposed of, or 56 per year. At 
^25,000 each for boat and cargo, the loss of property is ^^1,400,- 
000 annually. 

The Cincinnati memorial to Congress for 1843, represents the 
combined amount of property put afloat on the Mississippi and its 
tributaries, at $220,000,000. Of this 120,000,000 is regarded as 
belonging to internal commerce from town to town in all direc- 
tions, and consisting principally of home manufactured produc- 
tions. Fifty millions is considered as the amount of imports from 
beyond the mountains on the east, and fifty or the same sum for 
the foreign goods which ascend the Mississippi from the Gulf. 

By the census of 1840, the capital engaged in all manufactures 
in the five large cities of the Valley was ^^12,840,350, distributed 
as follows: Pittsburgh $2,057,942, Cincinnati $7,469,912, Louis- 
ville $864,006, St. Louis $674,250, New Orleans, 1,774,200. 
The manufacturing capital in the smaller cities and villages of the 
same region must be as much more, or in all $25,680,700. 

The annual product of Pittsburgh and of Cincinnati is consid- 
ered about the same in value, though the capital invested in the 
latter place in 1840 was more than three times larger than in the 
former. But if the capital employed turned out over all the 
region fabrications of only three times its own value, we shall 
have $77^043,100, as the result of manufacturing industry 
and capital. The general opinion is that the product is 
much greater. 



CHCIMATI 



Cincinnati, though the second city of the West, in wealth, pop- 
ulation, and business, is the youngest in years of any principal 
town beyond the mountains. Her history has none of the doings 
of the ancient French to enliven its recital; and but little of the 
early adventurers, which has not been repeated an hundred times 
in print. Cities were founded at Pittsburgh, Wheeling, Mays- 
ville, Louisville, St. Louis, Natchez, and New Orleans, before it 
occurred to the mind of any speculator that a place could be made 
to flourish here. Not even an Indian trader had been known to 
stop for the purposes of traffic — certainly no post or establishment 
of the kind was made. The only indications in its favor were, 
that the prior occupants of the country, the race of the mounds, 
had regarded it as a place of some importance. Their city had 
occupied the handsomest part of the Cincinnati basin, extending 
from Ludlow to Mound streets, and from Third to Northern 
Row; but at this day not a trace is left of their constructions — at 
the first settlement so remarkable, that they struck the eye of ev- 
ery visiter. 

The most prominent work lay between Walnut and Race, on 
Fifth and Fourth Streets. It was an elliptical embankment, 
which had an opening of 90 feet wide at the eastern end. The 
major axis was nearly parallel to Fourth and 830 feet in length, 
the minor axis being 730. 

The height of the wall or embankment is represented to have 
been from three to seven feet, and its breadth at the base thirty to 
40. Judge Burnet preserved a segment of the curve from des- 
truction in the square between Vine, Race, Third and Fourth un- 
til the property passed into other hands. 

The walls were turned outwards at the opening in the form of 
oblong mounds, and from the southern wing a mound or raised 



%^ncient Works, 43 

path, like a turnpike, ran in a curved form to the corner of Third 
and Main, crossing Main and terminating in a flat mound, on the 
lot occupied by the office of Ellis & Vallette. 

Another enclosure of earth, like the former without ditches, 
but not fully described, occupied the space between Sycamore and 
Ludlow and Fourth and Fifth. 

A small circle lay in Fifth, east of the last namfed figure. 

Just above the canal, Vine-Street passed through a second el- 
lipse, 760 feet long, and about 40 wide, the walls only two feet 
high. Its greatest axis lay in the direction of north about 60° 
west, and it had an opening at the middle of the south side, 30 
feet wide. 

Beyond this, and near the north-east corner of the section (No, 
18,) was an artificial circular pit, 12 feet deep and fifty feet across, 
sometimes called a well. 

But the most notorious object of the days of the ancient race 
was a mound at the corner of Fifth and Mound streets, 35 feet 
high and as steep as the earth would retain its position. There 
were also small mounds at the north-east corner of Western Row 
and Eighth Streets. In the process of demolition to which all 
these relics of a lost people have been given up, many curious ar- 
ticles, earthenware and shells, were found. In the mound, at the 
north-east corner of Third and Main, at the natural surface of the 
earth, there lay the skeleton of a human being in a rude coffin of 
loose stones. In the great mound on Fifth Street, the usual skele- 
ton was found. The workmen also produced a stone which they 
say was lying with it near the level of the surrounding land, and 
had upon one of its faces a regularly wrought series of figures or 
hierogl3'phics. (See cut, next page.) 

Skeletons were found near the top of the mound, a common oc- 
currence in opening western tumuli. These, and many of the 
trinkets dug from them, are evidently the remains of a more mod- 
ern people confounded with the ancient race. Even the whites 
had a fondness for these mounds, as a burial place in the early 
settlements. There is a collection of them near the road, about 
a mile and a quarter south of Piketon, Ohio, whose green sides are 
covered with graves and grave-stones. 

Many of the ancient works of Ohio and the West are objects of 
grandeur from their size and antiquity; and all of them have amys-

terious interest, arising from the curious and unmeaning forms in 
wiiich they are laid out. Only a few of them had a design, thai 
we can discover. Some stand upon difficult eminences, evidently 
intended as places of security; but there is only one instance 
where there is any evidence of an attack from an enemy, among 
tlie 35 or forty works of Ohio. The works on the plain at Cin- 
cinnati were not of a defensive character. With the race of the 
mounds, as with all other people, their most lasting and expensive 
structures have relation to public displays. If they are a religious

of a superstitious race, costly temples are raised, constructed ac- 
cor:ling to their ideas of taste and splendor. Some nations have 
bestowed great labor upon theatres, amphitheatres and circuses; 
others upon senate houses and princely residences, and so it was 
with the forgotten people who preceded us. Their works, how- 
ever, bear the impress of peace and devotion, erected by an agri- 
cultural class, who had consequently a portion of civilization. 

In addition to these evidences of the remote occupation of man, 
a large Indian trail or road crossed the Ohio at the mouth of the 
Licking, and passed many hundred miles southward through the 
(Cumberland Gap. It w^as the great high-way, or war path, from 
the northern lakes to the Carolinas. 

Those were the only marks of the ancient presence of human 
beings, when Filson came hei'e to make survej^s in the fall of 
1788. He entered the forest with his compass, and was never 
heard of afterwards. 

Filson's place was supplied by Israel Ludlow, who became a 
co-proprietor in section 18 and fraction 17, with Robert Patter- 
son and Mathias Denman, the original owner. Ludlow and his 
party made a lodgment in the last days of the same year. A few 
lots were laid out by Ludlow, called the donation lots, which 
were drawn on the 7th of January, 1789, at the city of'Losanti- 
ville." Thirty men became possessed by this lottery of an in 
and out-lot a piece, on condition that they enter upon the lots, 
raise and attend two crops of not less than an acre, and build and 
occupy a house 20 feet square on the front of each in-lot; all with- 
in two years, unless drawn off by Indian depredations. Against 
the affected name of Losantiville, Judge Symmes and General St. 
Clair afterwards remonstrated so strongly, that the proprietors, 
Denman, Patterson, and Ludlow, changed it to that of Cincinnati. 
About a year after the drawing, Denman sold to Joel Williams his 
entire third. Shortly after, Patterson sold to Samuel Freeman, 
who transferred to Williams another third. The original cost of 
the section and fraction, containing about 700 acres, was ^500, of 
continental certificates, worth five shillings in the pound. 

Williams, now owner of two thirds of Cincinnati, a city then 
burdened with a heavy growth of Sycamores, with here and there 
a small chopping on the corner lots, located himself upon the 
river bank between Front Street and the water. 



46 Military Post — Organization. 

He had a residence there, and for a long series of years suppos- 
ed himself the owner of the land whereon he had built. But mod- 
ern advancement required a public levee or landing; and the ma- 
chinery of the law was set in motion to procure one. The result 
was favorable to the city, to whom the Supreme Court of the Unit- 
ed States awarded all the space between Main, Front, Broadway 
and the river, from which the early proprietor was expelled. 

In June, 1789, the place became a military post. Major 
Doughty, with 140 men, arrived from Fort Harmar, and erected 
four block-houses just east of the section line, between Third and 
Fourth. By November, they had completed a stockade and bar- 
racks, which they called Fort Washington. General Harmar in- 
troduced a reinforcement of 300 men in December, and it remain- 
ed a garrison until 1809. Since that year, the station has been 
maintained as a recruiting depot on the Kentucky side at the mouth 
of Licking. General Arthur St. Clair, the first and only provin- 
cial governor of the '• territory north-west of the Ohio," arrived 
in January, 1790, supported by three judges, to whom, in concert 
with the governor, the powers of the State were confided. 

President Washington had determined upon striking the Indian 
nations, at the sources of the three Miamis; and Fort Washing- 
ton became the scene of military preparations. 

Some daring settlers had dispersed themselves in little bands in 
the interior, erecting strong log cabins, or block houses, for pro- 
tection. There were four or five of these advanced " stations" 
within half a day's march of the Fort. 

About fifteen men were captured or killed within this circle 
during the year, some of them on the town plat of Cincinnati. 

Washington's directions to St. Clair were to secure peace, if 
possible, without the expense of a war, which the government, 
overwhelmed by debt, were little able to sustain. 

On the 5th of April, 1790, Major Hamtramck, the commandant 
at Fort Knox, had sent Antoine Gamelin, to the Wabash and 
Miami Indians, with a speech containing peaceable propositions, 
(American State Papers, Indian Affairs, vol. 1, p. 97.) 

On the 14th, the Kickapoos and Ouitanons say to Gamelin, 
"You invite us to stop our young men; it is impossible to do it, 
they being constantly encouraged by the British." 

Blue Jacket, a Shawnee, replied to the messenger on the 25th, 



Fighting at Fort Wayne. 47 

" My friend, by the name and consent of the Shawnees and Del- 
awares, I will speak to you. We are all sensible of your speech, 
and pleased with it. But, after consultation, we cannot give an 
answer without hearing from our father at Detroit." 

On the 28th, Le Gris, the Great Chief of the Miamis, said " we 
cannot give you a positive answer, we must send your speeches 
to all our neighbors, and to the Lake nations — we cannot give a 
definite answer, without consulting the commandant at Detroit." 

The Kickapoos replied on the 4th of May, repeating the old 
story, that they could not restrain their young men. 

The mission of Gamelin having thus failed, the Governor, on 
the 15th of July, directed 700 of the Kentucky militia to rendez- 
vous at Fort Steuben, (Falls of the Ohio,) and at Fort Washington, 
between the 12th and 15th of September. 

Five hundred Pennsylvanians were ordered to meet at McMa- 
hon's Creek on the Ohio, four miles below Wheeling, on the 3d 
of the same month. 

Col. Hardin, with a body of pioneers, set out on the 27th of 
September, to open roads into the Indian country. 

On the 30th, General Joseph Harmar, began the march, with 
three pieces of artillery. The remainder of the troops arrived 
from Fort Harmar on the 2d of October and joined in the expedi- 
tion on the 3d. It numbered 1453 men including 320 regular 
troops. 

They reached the principal village at the junction of the St. 
Marys and the St. Josephs, on the 16th, now the site of the village 
of Fort Wayne, 170 miles from Cincinnati. The Indian town 
being deserted, the cabins and wigwams numbering 300, and their 
standing corn, supposed to be about 20,000 bushels, were de- 
stroyed. The savages, however, were not distant. They saw 
the operations of the troops from the adjoining thickets, and 
despatched all the fool-hardy stragglers who wandered from 
the camp. 

The commander, by a general order of the 18th, informs them 
officially of the folly of risking their scalps in the pursuit of 
camp kettles and other plunder, and forbids them straying without 
the lines. 

There appears to have been other towns in the neighborhood. 
On the 20th instant, the army is encamped at « Chillicothe^^ a

village on the " OmeeP Capt. Strong is ordered to destroy if; 
and Col. Hardin to burn the Pickaway towns. 

It would seem, that the first fighting occurred on the 19th; a 
detachment of Col. Hardin's command having been surprised on 
that day on a prairie. Of 30 regular troops, only three privates 
and two officers returned. Gen. Harmar was indignant —in an 
order dated at the Chillicothe camp on the 20th, he says, " the 
cause of the detachment being worsted yesterday, was entirely 
owing to the shameful and cowardly conduct of the militia, who 
ran away and then threw down their arms without firing scarcely 
a single gun. In returning to Fort Washington, if any officer 
or man shall presume to quit their ranks, and not march in the 
form they are ordered, the General will most assuredly direct 
the artillery to fire upon them." 

On the 2lst, the return march was commenced and eight 
miles of the distance accomplished, when the troops, stung with 
the disgrace of the first encounter, desired permission to return 
to Maumee town, with Col. Hardin at their head. 

The Colonel and about 500 of his militia and Major Willis, 
and 60 of the United States troops, were allowed to make the 
expedition. A«? was anticipated, the Indian force was at the 
ruins of their town. They contrived, by an artful retreat, to 
draw the Americans across the St. Marys, and along the St. 
Josephs river some miles. The regulars were by some means 
separated from the militia, when the savage troops fell upon 
them with knives and tomahawks, and suffered but nine out of 
sixty to escape. 

The Kentucky troops here retrieved their honor, at least in 
the opinion of the General. The action happened on the 
morning of the 22d, and on the same day an order was issued, 
which contained the following words: " The General is exceed- 
ingly pleased with the behavior of the militia in the action of 
this morning. Although our loss is great, it is inconsiderable 
in comparison to the slaughter made among the savages. The 
resolution and firm and determined conduct of the militia, this 
morning, hasfully retrieved their character in the opinion of the 
General. He knows that they can and will fight." 

Col. Hardin, Major McMillan, Major Hall, and Brigade Major 



Progress-^Health — Population. 49 

■^rmsbj, were highly complimented — Major Wjllis and Major 
Fontaine killed. 

The Indian version of the affair was that they lost 15, and the 
Americans .500 men. The official report made to Governor St. 
tillair on the 4th of November, when the army arrived at Fort 
Washington, is, of th« regulars 73 killed, including Major Wyllis 
and Lieut. Frothingham. 

Of the militia 93 killed and 31 wounded, including one Major, 
(Fontaine,) 3 captains, (Thorp, Scott and McMurtry,) 2 lieuten- 
ants, (Clark and Rogers,) 4 ensigns, (Sweet, Bridges, Higgins and 
Thielkeld.) 

The number of Indians killed is put in the general orders at 
100; the number of villages destroyed, ^ce. 

The General and Governor St. Clair regarded it as a severe 
chastisement, which would check the ferocit}'' of the tribes. The 
Indians considered it as a victory to them, and renewed their 
depredations upon the frontiers with violence. 

A year afterwards, a second army under command of St. Clair 
in person, more numerous and more formidable, issued from Fort 
Washington against the Miami Indians. At a less distance from 
head quarters, it met with a defeat infinitely more disastrous than 
Harmar's, and hastily retreated to the Fort. The details of this 
disaster, so discreditable to the American arms, and so fatal to our 
troops, are too well known to require a repetition here. 

The loss of her citizens in battle and the dismal prospect of 
future security, checked the increase of this place materially. 

The battle of the Rapids, in Aug. 1794, at last determined the 
preponderance of civilization over barbarism, by breaking the 
organization and spirits of the Indian, now resolved to submit to 
his fate. Commerce and improvement now began to reign. In 
1795 there were 94 cabins, 10 frames, and 500 people; in 1S05 
960; in 1810, 2540. 

In 1805, it received an incorporation as a village, in 1819 a 
charter as a city. 

We have therefore arrived at a period too recent for history. 
and where dry statistics will take its place. 

The first enquiry of the emigrant respecting his intended resi- 
dence, is in relation to its business, the second its health.

The white population of 1840 was 44,124, colored 2,258, or 
about one in twenty. Various estimates are given for 1844, in 
the mean 63,000 for the city proper, and 12,000 for its depend- 
encies, on both shores. 

In 1840 the Germans numbered 14,163, or about one third of 
the white population. The number of buildings in 1815, was 
1070; in 1826, 2,495; in 1840, 6,781. The estimate for the increase 
of the year 1843 is 1,000. 

The affairs of the city are managed by a council of 27; three 
from each of the nine wards. 

The Mayor is principally confined to judicial duties, relating to 
the good order of the town, and the collection of taxes and fines. 
His jurisdiction in criminal cases, under the laws of the State, is 
the same as a justice of the peace. 

There is a Superior Court for the county, with civil jurisdic- 
tion only, and in this respect it has concurrent authority with the 
Common Pleas. 

The Common Pleas for the county has civil and criminal 
jurisdiction. 

The Superior Court has four sessions, commencing on the first 
Monday in January, April, July and October; the Common Pleas 
three sessions a year. 

These appeal to the Supreme Court of the State, held once a 
year in each county. 

Judge of the Superior Court, D. K, Este, 

Clerk, Daniel Gano. 
President Judge of the Common Pleas, Wm, B. Caldwelh 

Clerk, pro tem. — James M. McMaster. 

Mayor, Henry E. Spencer. 

Clerk of Council, Charles Satterly. 



Banks — Water — Gas. 5 1 

There is a Chamber of Commerce, for the regulation of mer- 
cantile customs, and the amicable settlement of difficulties by 
arbitration. It is, however, seldom resorted to in the latter ca- 
pacity. 

At this time, there are but two Banks; the Life and Trust 
Company y and the Lafayette. The latter only has the privilege 
of issuing bills, and expires in 1845. 

There are seven Insurance Companies, that do a profitable 
business; and several agencies of foreign institutions. 

The business of exchange is carried on principally by brokers, 
who pay a heavy sum to the city for license to deal in money. 

Water is supplied from the river by engines capable of raising 
21,000,000 of gallons in tv\elve hours 156 feet to the reservoirs 
on the hill. The works were constructed by Col. Davies, the 
late mayor, in 1819 ; but finally, in 1839, came into the possession 
of the city, which is now replacing the wooden logs first laid 
down, by durable iron pipes. In 1840, the average consumption 
was the enormous quantity of 360 gallons per tenant per day. 

The current expenses for 1843, were ^9,600; improvements, 
$9,946; interest on debt, ^27,697; receipts, $34,355; deficit, 
$12,750; estimate of receipts for 1844, $45,000. 

Cincinnati was without gas lights until the fall of 1842, and 
none of the streets were lighted until January, 1844, when Main, 
from the river to canal, was supplied with lamps. The company 
and the council meet with much difficulty in adjusting their 
affairs, which retards a measure considered elsewhere indispensable 
to the comfort of a city, and the safety of person and property. 

The Fire Department of Cincinnati is composed principally 
of young merchants and mechanics, with whom are interspersed 
many old and enterprising citizens. They own their engines, 
and receive no compensation for their services. They are as re- 
markable for their respectability and order, as for activity and 
courage. In February, (25th,) 1843, an uncommon explosion 
occurred, causing the death of eight of their number, under the 
most horrible circumstances. A large and well filled smoke- 
house, attached to the packing house of Messrs. Pugh and Alvord, 
corner of Canal and Walnut, took fire about sundown, burning 
with great fury. In order to stifle the fire when it should reach 
the main building, its doors and windows were closed, with the

exception of one or two on the lower story, through which the 
barrels of meat were being removed. The gas arising from the 
combustion of the bacon, was conducted through a narrow house 
into the pork house, which became filled in every part. As the 
flame touched this mixture, the whole ignited, and threw the 
materials of the building in every direction, upon the firemen and 
the crowd. The effect was precisely that of a large mine. The 
roof rose in the air, and sunk back on the ruins ; the walls fell 
outward on three of its sides, burj'ing many human beings 
beneath them. 

Firemen in Cincinnati are, after five years' duty, exempt from 
militia duty in time of peace, from road tax, and service as jury- 
men. The current expenses of the department, paid out of the 
city treasury, in 1843, amounted to ^14,590. 

There are fourteen companies (including protection and ladder 
companies) enrolling 1450 men, who work twenty engines, some 
of them manufactured in the city. They have — — feet of hose. 
The public cisterns are numerous, and water never fails. As- 
would be expected from such preparations, fires make but little 
progress after discovery. 

'The permanent debt of the city of Cincinnati, according to the 
Exhibit made March 21, 1844, is as follows:

COMMON SCHOOLS. 

There is another organization for this city, of superlative im- 
portance. In 1830-31, a thorough reformation of Common 
Schools in Cincinnati took place. There are now nine school 
houses of brick, with a capacity of at least 300 pupils each, whose 
cupolas rise in different parts of the city. They cost about 
i^ 100,000. There is a board of fourteen trustees and visitors, 
who manage the funds, appoint teachers, regulate their pay, and 
control the affairs of the institution or system. They are elected 
by the people. 

There is also a board of seven examiners, who grant certificates 
of qualification to teachers, after rigid examination. They are 
appointed by the Common Council. 

There arejburteeji school districts, besides the German schools 
and the orphan asylum school ; seventy-Jive teachers and assist- 
ant teachers ; 7,000 registered attendants ; 3,000 withdrawn ; 
daily attendance, year ending June 30, 1843, 3,140. Each has a 
male and female department, a male and female principal, and the 
requisite number of assistants. 

Pay of male principals, ^45 per month ; female do., §35 ; 
assistants, from §15 to §25. There is also a writing department, 
and an evening school system.

THE PORK BUSINESS OF CINCINNATI. 

We subjoin the number of Hogs that have been packed in Cin- 
cinnati, for the last twelve years; and the prices at which the 
market has opened in December of each year, since 1835, which 
is as far back as we can find the price mentioned in any of the

OLD CLOTHES MADE NEW. 
LONDON DYEING & SCOURING ESTABLISHMENT. 

JOHN J. JACKSON, 

Lately from London, respectfully informs the citizens of Cin- 
cinnati and vicinity, that he has taken a store on 
Broadway , between Columbia and Lower Market Streets, 

West side, two doors South of Holmes^ Hotel, 

For the purpose of Dying, Renovating, Repairing and Scouring ) 

Gentlemen's Wearing Apparel, upon an entirely new principle. I 

All clothes made to appear as when new, without the least in- > 

jury to the cloth; and if not done to satisfaction, no charge S 

will be made. \ 

From the long and practical experience which I have had ; 

during my apprenticeship in London, and in working for the I 

officers of the Horse Guards, and officers, of other regiments, ) 

I am enabled to dye SCARLET and other colors in a superior ) 

manner: also, to extract grease spots and stains of all descrip- ^ 

tions from military and other garments. ? 

Gentlemen composing Volunteer Companies in this city, ; 

who have military clothes out of order from the effects of grease ^ 

spots, stains, &c., are respectfully invited to call and give him ) 

a trial. > 

Gold, silver, and silk Lace, Epaulettes, &c., tarnished from > 

long use, can be restored to their original lustre and brightness. ) 

Ladies' wearing apparel, (including silk, satin and velvet \ 

dresses,) dyed in the most approved fashion, and in the latest ) 

style and finish. Carriage Cushions, Hangings, Pulpit Covers, > 

Sofa and Chair Covers, Window Hangings, Carpet and Hearth ^ 

Rugs cleansed, dressed, &c., and made to appear as when new. } 

Many gentlemen and ladies hesitate to have their garments, ^ 

carpets, &c., renovated or dyed, in consequence of the numer- > 

ous impostors that do not understand their business. The sub- ; 

scriber requires but one trial to prove the character of his work- ^ 

manship. From a strict attention to my business, I hope to > 

merit a share of public patronage. > 

ICF'All work entrusted to my care will be ready for delivery ^ 

in 48 hours after being left with the subscriber. > 



Cincinnati. 107 



QUEEN CITY

^p 



^ WALNUT STREET, 

Between Fifth and Sixth. 

The undersigned having opened the above establishment, 
for dyeing and finishing Silk and Woolen Goods, in all their 
varieties, and in a style which cannot be surpassed by any other ^ 
house in this city, he respectfully solicits a share of public 
patronage, confident that upon trial, his declarations will be 
realised by his patrons in the brilliancy and permanency of his 
colors, and the softness and beauty of the finish which he im- 
parts to his work. 

From the long practical experience which I have had in 
^ Leeds, Yorkshire, England, in dyeing for the principal mer- 
^ chants and manufacturers, and the satisfaction they have ex- 
? pressed, there can be no doubt that my colors will be equal to 
') any other, whether foreign or domestic — if they are not, no 
charge will be made. 

Merchants and others, wishing to have piece goods of any 
description, or sewing silk colored, can have the work done to 
( their entire satisfaction, and at Eastern prices, by calling on 
) the subscriber. 

Q^ Make sure of the name and location. Tickets are given 
for goods left at the establishment.

— ■>«»*»/##i8'< 



This establishment is the largest, and the facilities for doing ? 
work in all its varieties are not equalled west of the Mountains, ? 



.nor surpassed by any house East, or in any part of Europe. 
The continued increase of business I have met with has no pre- 
cedence, and is without parallel. I return my sincere thanks 
to the citizens of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia, and sev- 
eral other States, who have sent their goods so many hundreds 
of miles ; they may rest assured, that justice will be done to all 
goods entrusted to my care. 

N. B. Make sure of the location. Tickets are given for 
goods left at this establishment. Watering or Waiving of Silks 
done equal to any East. Also, Scouring of Clothing, &c. — 
Carpets cleaned, in any quantity; — being fitted up expressly for 
such work, it is worth the attention of house-keepers and own- 
ers of steamboats ; the expense is trifling. 

Reference can be given to several of the most reputable 
houses in Cincinnati.

Drs. TALIAFERRO & MARSHALL, & Dr.D. P.STRADER,^^ 

HAVE ESTABLISHED IN CINCINNATI, ^ 

On the corner of Broadway 8f Franklin Sts a Hotel for the accomodation ? 

of the sick. I 

It is well known, that transient persons sick in our city, and ^ 
such of our citizens as have not families to minister to them ; 
when afflicted, have deeply suffered for want of such provisions ^ 
, for their comfort as they are able to afford, or in justice to them- ? 
<| selves, can accept. Hotels and Boarding Houses are objected ^ 
^ to, either because of charges too heavy to be long borne, or the ^ 
( want of such nurses as can be trusted — and to public Hospitals 5 
( there is attached a prejudice, however unjustly, so strong, that ^ 
i many risk their lives rather than enter them. ? 

( It is the object of this establishment to obviate these difBcul- ) 
( ties as far as possible, by providing the sick with the constant ^ 
^, and watchful attention of well regulated Hospitals, and securing > 
<; to them the comforts and quiet of the best conducted boarding > 
[| houses. A j'esident Physician will always be present. ] 

<, Every variety of disease will be admitted to the establish- > 
( mentj except those that are contagious. i 

"- In addition to the treatment of all the varieties of disease, ? 
(. that may be presented, special attention will be given to ) 

\ DISEASES OF THE EYE, ? 

(* By Doctors TAliIAFEKKO and MAKSHAaiL,. ) 

( As the establishment is now furnished with Warm, Cold, Salt, ) 

^ and Sulphurous Baths, particular attention will be given to ] 

( Diseases of the Skin. ) 

( Application for admission must be made to the superintend- ) 

^ ent at the establishment, or to the Medical attendants at their <^^ 

( offices W. T. TALIAFERRO, M. D. ;

gives a decided advantage over all other Mills of the kind. The ^ 

Top Stone or Runner is set in a cast iron case, which gives anv { 

requited weight without naaking it top-heavy^ and also, making (

way. They are calculated to run by steam, water or horse r 
power. f 

Also, an improved Horse-<power Mill, Irons and Mill Picks \ 
made to order. Screen Wire, Mill Screws and Plaister Paris >

\ The Cincinnati Astronomical Society, was organized by the 
^ adoption of a constitution and the election of officers on the 23d 
\ of May, 1842. Its formation was the result of a plan proposed 
\ to the citizens by Prof. 0. M. Mitchell, at the close of a course 
^ of lectures on Astronomy which he gave in the spring of that 
{ year. The members of the society consist of those who have 
s subscribed to itsstoclc, the cost of a share being twenty-five dol- 
< lars. In less than a month, about seven thousand dollars in stock .] 
\ were subscribed. The whole numberof shares that have been 

( taken is now . 

( At a meeting of the society held in November, the Board of 
i Control were directed to procure an Equatorial Telescope of the 
( best character. Prof. Mitchell was sent to Europe to examine 
\ the instruments of the best manufactures. On his return, the 
'l Board, on hearing the result of his investigations, made an ar- 
l rangement with Messrs. Mertz & Mahler of JMunich, for an in- 
{ strument to cost nine thousand dollars. There are few instru- 
ments in use whose power is equal to this. It is to be completed 
and forwarded to Cincinnati early in the summer of 1844. 

N. Longworth, Esq., has donated to the society a tract of four 
acres of land on one of the principal hills east of the city, since 
named, by the society, Mount Adams. A better site could not 
have been desired. It commands a good horizon and an exten- 
sive prospect in every direction, and the scenery is beautiful. 
The corner stone of the Observatory was laid by John Quincy 
Adams, on the 9th day of November, 1843. An act of incor- 
poration has been obtained from the Ohio Legislature. The bill 
is favorable, in a high degree, to the operations of the society. 

11 



184 Cincinnaii. 



It exempts (he tract af grouad given by Mr. Longworth, the 
Observatory buildings, and the instruments which may be em- 
ployed in the Observatory, from all taxation; it provides also 
that the ground and instruments shall never be made liable for 
any debt which may be contracted by the Board or the society; 
that they shall never be diverted from their original objects.— 
This charter was accepted by the society, March 20th, 1S44. At 
the same meeting, a new constitution was adopted under the 
charter. Officers and directors are to be elected annually. The 
Board are not to contract debts beyond the means of the society 
to pay promptly with money on hand, or debts whose payment 
may with certainty be relied on. The Board are to elect the 
Director of the Observatory, who is to conduct the observations, 
and is to give annually a course of lectures on Astronomical sub- 
jects. The members of the society and their families are enti- 
tled to the privileges of the Observatory. Arrangements are to 
be made by the Board, for the admission of others than mem- 
bers to the same privileges. 

The officers of the society, at present, consist oi

186 Cincinnati. 



al College of Ohio. 



This Institution, the first of the kind in the United States, 

< was commenced in Columbus, February 3d, 1S36, by Dr, A. 

< Curtis. In 1837, he applied to the Legislature for a charter, 
^ which was granted March 6th 1839. In 1841, it was removed 

< by the consent of the Legislature, to this city, where it is now 
\ located in the spacious building on 3d Street, east of Broadway, 
\ erected by the celebrated Mrs. Tiollope, and called the Bazaar. 

This edifice has been so fitted up that it aflbrds excellent accom- 
modations to a!! departments of the institution. 

There are delivered daily in the college, five and sometimes 
six lectures, on Anatomy, Physiolog)-, Surgery, Theory, and 
Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Materia J\Jedica and Pharma- 
^ cy, Chemistry, Botany, &c., &c. The course of studies is very 
) extensive, and the examinations are daily and thorough. It is 
^ well provided with maps, charts, diagrams, &c., and other means 
( of illustration, among which is the wonderful and no less useful 
, Manikin, perhaps ttie only one in the western country. 
"^ The Professors of this institution, reject the Lancet, blisters 
^ and poisons, and every means and mode of directly reducing the 
( vital energies of the system for the cure of disease; and they 
^ recommend and practice the use of those means and processes 
<; — and those only which are calculated to aid the conservative 
\ power of the system to maintain its full dominion over the 

< organism. 

\ The advantages for the study of Anatomy are not surpassed 
{ by those of any school in the west. Surgery is abriged by the 
i successful medication of most cases. I\Jany inij)ortant opera- 
\ tions are performed on the living subject, and the whole theory 

< and practice are carefully taught, and illustrated on the cadaver. 
( Physiology is illustrnted with the ??fanikin, the most wonderful 
; exhibition of art — a;; instrument by the aid of which an amount 
(' of knowledge that ii once required years to obtain, can be com- 
) municated in as maiiv weeks. Patliology, diagnosis, and ther- 
^ apeutics, will be illustrated abundantly in the college where, 
^ hereafter, the practice will be constantly exhibited. The prin- 
'[ cipal articles of the Materia Medica, both crude and prepared, 
; will be exhibited so constantly, as to enable the student to be- 
^' come acquainted with the instruments he is to use in his profes- 
^ sion. The chemical apparatus, the botanic garden, and a great 

< variety of maps, diagiams, paintings, &c., complete the means 
; of illustration.

WOODWARD COLLEfiE. 

\ 

/ This Institution originated in the enlightened benevolence of I 
( William Woodward, one of the early settlers of this city. <; 
; His first grant of land for its endowment was made on the 1st ( 
y of November, 1826, to Samuel Lewis and Osmond Cogswell, ^ 
^ as perpetual trustees. The site of the College Buildings was a i^ 



( 



subsequent donation, by the same gentlemen. It was first char- ( 
N tered as ''The Woodward Free Grammar School,'' which title ( 
\ was afterwards changerl to that of the Woodward High School. <; 
s In the winter of 1835-6, the Legislature conferred collegiate ^ 
\ powers on the Trustees, under the title of "The Woodward { 
< College of Cincinnati." \ 



( Since it first went into operation, in 1831, the number of i 

( pupils in attendance during each year has varied from 150 to ^ 

? 230. Of the present number at the Institution, about one-sixth S 

^ belong to the regular College Classes, The majority of the ^ 

^ students, however, are engaged either in the study of Languages ^ 

^ or Mathematics. The course of instruction and study is not \ 

inferior to that of any Collegiate Institution in the West — in- s 

deed it is superior to most of them. The endowment of the < 

Institution is expended in the education of indigent pupils. < 



The Board of Trustees are Samuel Lewis, Esq., President ; 
Thomas J. Matthews. Secretar}'' ; Elam P. Langdon, S. P. 
Chase and Oliver Lovell.

PITTSBURGH. 



There is no spot in the Ohio country, about which a more 
intense historical interest may be thrown, than the city of 
Pittsburgh. 

The capture of the Virginia garrison in 1754- — the neighbor- 
ing defeat of Braddock in '55, and the horrible details of the fate 
of the prisoners who fell into the hands of the French and In- 
dians — the slaughter of 300 men on Grant's Hill in '58 — the 
arrival of Gen. Forbes — the contest between Virginia and Penn- 
sylvania with respect to boundary — Indian councils and treaties — 
early dangers and personal exploits of the whites — how many 
pages of thrilling story might be written! 

A general statement of these transactions will be seen in our 
historical summary, which precedes the body of the Directory. 
A full history of the events of which this little valley has been 
the scene, and those hills the witnesses, would constitute a Volume 
of thrilling interest. Take the relation oi James Smith, a guide 
to Braddock, taken prisoner early in the march. On the day of 
the surprise at the ford of the Monongahela, " about dusk the party 
returned to the Fort, driving before them twelve British regulars, 
stripped naked, and their faces painted black, an evidence that the 
unhappy wretches were devoted to death. Next came the Indians, 
displaying their bloody scalps, of which they had immense num- 
bers, diessed in the scarlet coats, sashes, and military hats of the 
officers and soldiers. Behind all came a train of baggage horses 
laden with piles of scalps, canteens, and all the accoutrements of 
British soldiers. The savages, frantic with joy, entered the Fort, 
dancing, yelling, brandishing their red tomallawks and waving 
their scalps in the air, while the great guns of the Fort replied to 
the incessant discharges of rifles from without. The yells of de- 
light and congratulation were scarcely over, when those of ven- 

14 



220 Pittsbzirgh, 

geance began. The prisoners were led out to the banks of the 
Allegheny, and, to the eternal disgrace of the French com- 
mandant, were burnt to death, one after another, with the 
most awful tortures. Each prisoner was tied to a stake, with his 
hands raised above his head, stripped naked, and surrounded by 
Indians; they would touch him with red hot irons, stick his body 
full of pine splinters, and set them on fire, drowning the shrieks 
of the victim in yells of delight, as they danced around him. His 
companions, in the mean time standing in a group near the stake, 
had a foretaste of what was in reserve for them.'^ 

The picketing which Ensign Ward commenced in the spring 
of 1754, was on the bank of the Monongahela, about half a square 
above Liberty street. The French demolished this embryo fort, 
and constructed Fort Du Quesne, directly at that point, arming it 
with 18 pieces of cannon. 

In 1759, the English General Stauri caused a more extensive 
work to be laid out, which was completed in 1767, occupying 
about seven acres at the point, being four or five times larger than 
Fort Du Quesne. This was called Fort Pitt, a work in its 
strength approaching the character of a permanent fortification. 

The only remains of that era, are a stone magazine of two 
stories, built by Col. Boquet outside the ditch of the Fort. It 
stands near Brewery Alley, about fifty feet west of Point street. 
In 17S5, it was nearly surrounded by additions, to render it a 
residence for citizens, causing the pile to represent at one view 
the change from military to civil occupation. Accounts differ 
materially in the number of settlers who established themselves 
at Fort Pitt, under the English and colonial rule, prior to the 
Revolution. Mr. Isaac Craig, born in Boquet's Magazine, or 
"redoubt," gives the number of houses at 25 to 30, in 1775, 
which would contain 180 to 200 persons. 

Others place the number of citizens at 200, in 1760, which does 
not seem probable, unless the transient Indian traders were 
included. 

The heirs of William Penn being tories, their property was 
confiscated by the State of Pennsylvania. Such parts as were 
not received by demise, descent, or purchase, and such tracts as 
were not sold or surveyed before the day of our national birth, 
were vested in the State or colony of Pennsylvania. But 5800 



Pittsburgh. 221 

acres at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela, had 
been surveyed, and the Penns^ retained the site of a future com- 
mercial metropolis. 

In 1783-4, they b'egan to sell. In the spring of '84, the city was 
■surveyed. In 1786, it contained 100 houses, equal to 600 people, 
and the Pittsburgh Gazette was established. On the 9th of Jan- 
^lary, 1796, there were 1395 inhabitants, by official enumeration, 
A mail to Philadelphia had been provided in September, 1786. 
which met a Virginia mail at Bedford. It was incorporated as a 
thorough April 22d, 1794; as a city March 18, 1816. 

The Indian wars were ended in 1794, and the citizens, already 
sensible that it was their policy to become manufacturers, pursued 
their plans with vigor. At first, the freight on goods from Balti- 
more, was 45 shillings per hundred; and they predicted that no 
improvement of transportation could bring heavy articles in con> 
petition with their shops. In com.merce, Mayndrd <§• Morrison 
■carried on a traffic with the Illinois Indians, and Tarascon <§' Co, 
established an extensive shipyard there. In 1801, the schooner 
Amity, of 120 tons, was launched, and the Pittsburgh of 200; one 
destined for St. Thomas, the other for Philadelphia. In 1802, the 
brig Nanino, 250 tons; 1803 ship Louisiana of 300; and in 1804 
the Western Trader, ^of 400; all of which found their way to the 
ocean and sailed over many seas. 

But the substantial prosperity of the place, then as now, lay in 
the arm of the mechanic. 

A statement made in 1807 proves, that there were thenybwr 
nail factories worked by hand, (no engines then,) one air furnace, 
and one glass house; 50 stores, 707 houses, and 4740 inhabitants. 

In 1813, 958 houses, which at the average of the other enumer- 
ations, would give 5,748 people. We now pass to the days of 
steam engines. 

In 1817, the glass houses had increased to 5, air furnaces to 4, 
number of houses to 1403, stores 109, people to 8,000, and eight 
steam engines manufactured 400 tons of nails. Fulton had crossed 
the mountains in 1811, and built the steamer "Orleans," of 400 
tons, and seven or eight boats had already made their appearance. 
In March of 1817, the Washington steamboat of 400 tons, made 
a trip from Louisville to New Orleans and back in 45 days, which 
satisfied the citizens of the river country of a great fact, which 



222" Pittsburgh, 

they had dared not admit, viz. that steam could contend suceess-- 
fuUy with the current of the western waters. Capt. H. M. Shreve 
had made an experimental trip from New Orleans to Shipping- 
port in 1S15, in one of D. French's boats, called the Enterprise, 
of forty-five tons. The run was made in 25 days, and, althougb 
the citizens- of Lotaisville gave Capt. S. a public dinner, to compli- 
ment the builder and himself, and to mark the event, it did not 
do away with the fears and prejudices of the trading community. 

Turn now to 184Q. Population 21,116, without sjuburbs. Re-

M' ANULT Y'S 

United States Portable Boat Line, 

FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF MERCHANDISE TO AND FROM 

Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York & Boston, 

BY WAY OF CANAL AND RAILROAD. 

The great success this Line has met with, since it was first 
established on the "Individual Enterprise system," has induced 
the proprietors to increase the number of Boats during the past 
winter to twenty-five; one of which will depart from Pittsburgh, 
Philadelphia and Baltimore daily, [except Sundays,) during the 
season and make the trip through in Six Days. 

The superiority and advantages of the Portable Boat Sys- 
tem over every other mode of Transportation, (when Canal in- 
tersects with Rail Road,) are too well known to Shippers by 
this route, generally, to require any comment. 

Shippers can depend on having their Merchandise and Pro- 
duce, consigned to the Agents of this line, forwarded with 
DESPATCH and always at the very lowest rates of Freight 
charged by other Lines, without any additional charge made 
for receiving, advancing charges &c. 

All communications to the following agents will meet with 
prompt attention.

EVAN'S SAFETY GUARD, 

For Preventing Explosions of Steam Boilers^ 




The drawing represents a sectional view of the end of a 
Steam Boiler, with the Safety Guard attached, a — Is a common 
conical Safety Valve, the lever being bent in the form repre- 
sented in the drawing, having on its end a pulley, or sheave. 
b — Is a small metal pipe, made to pass up through the top of 
the Boiler, the lower end resting on and fitting tight to the flue, 
d. c — Is a spindle or shaft, the lower end made flat, with a 
counter sunk hole drilled in it, to fit on the small pivot cast 
on the inside and bottom of the pipe b. The upper end of this 
spindle passes through a brass cap at top of pipe, and has a small 
drum or sheave, e, secured to it, around which is wound the 



Pittsburgh. 305 

chain g, one end passing over the pulley on the end of lever, 
(as shown in the drawing,) and fastened to the end of the rod to ? 
which the weight /, is secured, h — Is a small piece of Iron ( 
f fastened to the top edge of the fire-bed, having a round hole ( 
( through it, to form a loose guide for the rod, to prevent the c 
( weight from swinging about, and for the purpose of sustaining ) 
( the weight when it descends so as to bring the collar i, in con- i 
( tact with it o — Is a metallic alloy, that will melt at any temp- } 
( erature designed ; in other words to melt at the temperature of ) 
/ any given pressure of steam, when there is plenty of water in the > 
< Boilers; this alloy is poured into the pipe, until it covers the flat ^ 
^ part of the spindle c, as shown at o, the oblique lines represent- ; 
[ ing the alloy occupying the enlarged part of the pipe, which is ^ 
^ made oval, to prevent the alloy, or spindle, from turning, until ^ 
) the metal is fairly melted. ^ 

THE OPERATION IS AS FOLLOWS: i 



^ It is obvious that as long as the alloy o, remains unmelted, 
^ the spindle c, cannot turn; therefore, the weight f, is kept sus- 
^ pended, and the safety valve a, stands precisely as a common 
^ safety x'^alve, prepared to open and allow any surplus steam to 
s escape, over and above that which the weight f, is intended to 
^. retain in the Boilers. The alloy is arranged (for a high pres- 
<* sure engine) to melt at a temperature corresponding with a 
^ pressure of steam of about 25 lbs., above the usual working 
( pressure. In other words 25 lbs. above that which the weight 
( f, is calculated to keep in the Boilers. Of course, the alloy 
/ will never m-elt, unless there is a deficiency of water; and in 
/ that case, it makes no difference what may be the pressure of 
; steam at the time, because the alloy would receive its fusing 
( temperature from the exposed flue. To melt the alloy, when 
y there is a plenty of water, it would be necessary to have the 
increased pressure of 25 lbs., which, however, can never accum- 
ulate, unless the valves should gum, or adhere to its seat. When 
the alloy is melted, the spindl«, being no longer prevented from 
turning the weight /, would descend until ihe collar i on the 
rod would rest on h. The whole of the weight would then be 
removed from the level, and the valve would open wide, allow- 
ing the whole of the steam to escape.

LOUISVILLE, 



The surveyors who were with Gist, in 1751, no doubt went a5 
far as the F*alls of the Ohio — James McBride, was on the Ohio 
at the mouth of the Kentucky in 1754, when he cut the letters of 
his name on a tree ; and it is very reasonable to suppose that an 
object so notorious, as the rapids of the Ohio, would have received 
a visit from a man of his enterprise — in 1767 John Findlay, and 
in 1769, Daniel Boone, explored Kentucky ; and in 1773 the 
Virginia Bounty men, descended the Ohio to the Falls, with a 
view of locating their warrants. Col. Rogers Clarke, however, 
made the first regular lodgement in Kentucky at Corn Island, at 
the head of the Falls, in the spring of 1778. He was in com- 
mand of 300 troops of the State of Virginia, raised for the dou- 
ble purpose of protecting the inhabitants of the valley, between 
the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny, then a frontier, and of form- 
ing settlements on the western lands. They cleared land, and 
planted corn on the Island. 

When the detachment went against the British Posts, in Illinois; 
there were six families left at the Island who immediately plant- 
ed themselves on the Kentucky shore, opposite the cornfields; a 
stockade was afterwards built; more families arrived the follow- 
ing spring, and also in the fall; and in the spring of 1780, seven 
stations were formed in the vicinity of Bear Grass Creek. 



344 Louisville. 

A Fort was built on the Indiana side, called Fort Henrj, 
where Jefferaonville now stands, directly opposite First Street, in 
Louisville. This Fort was called by some writers by the name 
of Sleuben, or another one was built on the same side having that 
name, and it is difficult to determine which. 

SURVEY AND SETTLEMENT. 

In 1795, there was but one street occupied with buildings. 
It extended from the mouth of Bear Grass, along the bank, to 
about 13th Street, where it forked, one of the branches running 
into the interior. 

Mr. William Pope had made a survey, and plot for the city, 
in behalf of the State of Virginia, in the year 1780 — The State 
became possessed of the title by forfeiture, from John Connolly, 
a tory of the Revolution — He had located 2,000 acres, including 
Louisville and Portland, in the year 1773, and in December of 
the same year Charles DeWarrensdorf or Warrenstaff, 
received a Patent, for 8,000 acres on the river next below Con- 
nolly. Warrensdorf conveyed to Connolly and John Campbell, 
and in 1775 Connolly conveyed an undivided half of his first 
entry, of 2,000, to said Campbell. They had partition, and the 
upper and lower 1,000 acres was confiscated in 1780 by act of the 
Legislature. 

A re-survey of the City was afterwards made by William Pey- 
ton, and Daniel Sullivan, but the minutes and plans of this, 
and also of Pope's survey, are no more to be found. In 1812, 
Jared Brooks made a second re-survey which is the first re- 
corded plat of the City of Louisville. Daniel Brodhead start- 
the first store in Louisville, in the year 1783. 

When the Virginia Office for the sale of Western Lands was 
opened in Kentucky, in the fall of 1 779, they brought £40 per 
acre, in Virginia money, which was valued in Specie at a shilling 
to the pound. 

In 1840, this City contained a population of 31,310; 270 retail 
stores, with a capital of ^2,182,980; Manufactures in metals of 
all kinds, valued at ^109,900; Tobacco, ^10,857; Cordage 170,- 
500; Leather and Leather Manufactures, gl 10,220; Furniture, 
^98,000; Capital in Manufactures, ig864,006; Barrels of Flour, 
42,000.

Steamboats built at the Falls, in 1843, thirty-five; Tonnage, 
7406; Cost ^700,000. The construction of Water Works has 
been authorised, but at present there is a system of public wells, 
with cisterns, into which the water is pumped by hand. The 
wells are placed at the corners of the squares, and the inhabitants 
resort to them for water. 

The Gas lights of Louisville are so numerous, and so strong, 
that every portion of the lighted district, embracing the principal 
part of the City is fully, illuminated. Each light being equal to 
twelve Sperm Candles, and costing ^20 per jear. 

In the fall of 1843, Louisville contained 31,300 inhabitants, 
and it is rapidly increasing in population. Whilst it continued 
merely a commercial town, the increase in population was slow; 
but when, about four years ago, an impetus was given to manu- 
factures, population commenced increasing rapidly. The ground 
is nearly level, and the town is well laid off; the streets cross each 
other at right angles; three of them are 90 feet wide and the oth- 
ers are 60 feet. There are no natural barriers to prevent its exten- 
Bion in any direction from the river. Last season there were

erected 437 buildings within the city limits, and it is estimated 
that during this year a greater number will be erected. 

MANUFACTURES. 

Within four or five years, the monetary institutions and the 
principal men have favored the manufacturing interests; and the 
city now boasts of two large steam Bagging Factories, having 56 
power looms, and employing about 150 hands; 1 Paper Mill; 4 
Breweries; 5 Candle Factories; 1 Cotton Factory, having 35

numerous and well patronised. Thirty-five steamboats have been 
built here during the year 1843, at an average cost of ^20,000.

376 St. Louis. 



ST. LOUIS, 

AND THE ADJACENT VILLAGES. 



The settlement of St. Louis, compared with the French estab- 
lishments east of the river, is modern; and of the era of the sta- 
tions on the upper Ohio. 

St. Charles, St. Johns, St. Ferdinand, Carondelet, (vide Pouche) 
Portage Des Sieux and Bon Homme soon started up, in various 
directions from the principal point. They were all peopled by 
those Frenchmen, who did not relish the English authority, to 
which they were subjected, in 1763 if they remained on the left 
bank of the Mississippi. 

The disturbances of the revolution, which soon followed, and 
the capture of the town of Kaskaskia, b)- a new power, the United 
States, served still further to disconcert the occupants of the 
French villages and the Eastern shore, and to drive them into the 
Spanish provinces. 

While St. Louis was still feeble, the Indians, who regarded the 
establishment as a fresh incursion, determined upon its destruction. 
Their design extended to all the dependent settlements, in which 
the British are said to have given them support. A general assault 
was received in 1779. A settlement, or suburb of St. Louis, was 
taken, and SO persons killed. But owing to the assistance of Gen. 
Clark, who still held Illinois, with his Virginia troops, the savages 
were repulsed in every other instance, and the white population 
maintained themselves on their new ground. 



St: Louis. S77 

The early defences against Indians, were a small stockade, with 
stone curtains; and several circular towers, 20 feet in diameter, 
and 15 feet high, so arranged as to support each other, and sweep 
the ground now occupied by the city. These works were on the 
bank some distance below the ancient mounds. These mounds, 
the remains of a remote and not entirely savage people, show that 
commerce and agriculture existed among them in some degree, as 
with us their successors. They are found occupying the very 
three parts which are now the sites of commercial towns, and in 
those regions where the soil is richest, and in the highest state of 
mordern cultivation. Cincinnati, Chillicothe, Portsmouth and 
Marietta are built upon the ruins of ancient cities, and many more 
instances might be given. 

In 1810 St. Louis had 1400 inhabitants; one fifth Americans, 
and one fourth slaves. In that year six houses were built. There 
were twelve mercantile firms, and the imports were computed at 
^250,000. 

St. Genevieve, established in 1774, soon became a rival of the 
town of St. Louis. In 17S3 a great flood of the Western Rivers 
occurred, and encroaching upon the town, alarmed the inhabitants 
for the future stability of their city. It was consequently removed 
one mile to the forks of the Gabaurie. Here also the " race of 
the mounds" had a city whose ruins were once distinctly visible. 
In 1810 this place was advancing more rapidly than St. Louis; 
erected more buildings; contained as many people, and imported 
^150,000 dollars in goods. It was the point where lead from 
"Mine La Motte" and "Mine a Burton" took the river. In 
1816 there were but 1500 people in the place. St. Charles 
at this time contained 300 persons, principally French boatmen 
or engages. 

NEW MADRID— SILVER. 

New Madrid, was laid out by Col. Morgan in 1786, on a 
beautiful bank at the concave part of the "Kentucky Bend." In 
1810, its inhabitants had increased to the number of 400, and its 
future prospects were fair. The river, it is true, was apparently 
angry with the citizens, for disturbing the rural quiet of its shores, 
and in the course of twenty-five years, had swallowed up their 
Forts, and encroached several hundred yards upon the streets, 
and squares of the place. But this had in a measure teased, when 



378 St. Louis. 

a new calamity completed the destruction of New Madrid — the 
earthquakes of 1811 and '12 seemed to concentrate their forces 
at this point, shook down the houses, sunk many portions of cul- 
tivated land, and a large portion of the town; opened lengthy 
fissures in the earth, forcing out mud, and pieces of mineral coal, 
raised the beds of lakes and swamps, and so disfigured this lovely 
spot, that its inhabitants could not regard it, any longer, as their 
home. 

EXPLORATIONS FOR SILVER. 

The Spaniards sought the New World, in the belief that it 
contained rich mines of gold, and silver; and the French, for its 
trade in furs. But when once located here the idea of finding 
precious metals took possession of the Frenchmen also; and be- 
fore Charlevoix descended the Mississippi, their researches, 
though they had neither discovered gold or silver, had unveiled 
beds of copper, on Lake Superior, and the Wisconsin, and Lead 
on the St. Francis, and the ''Marameg." In 1719 Lachou, a 
Frenchman and experimenter in minerals, pretended to recover a 
pound of silver from the rocks, at the mouth of the latter stream. 
He also found lead, at the same place. Mere Antonia, a Span- 
iard, as the agent of a mining company called the "Western 
Company," made explorations on the same waters, but produced 
nothing but lead, a mineral which had little value in the eyes of 
men in the expectation of beholding the glitter of gold. 

De La Renoudiere, a French oflBcer, succeeded Antonia, be- 
ing in command of a Brigade of miners from France: neither did 
his workmen discover anything but lead. The "Marameg Com- 
pany" was next formed, so strong was their faith in the mineral 
richness of the New World, whose central provinces had yielded 
the Spaniards so bountifully both silver and gold. One of the 
Directors of the new Company was in the country in 1721, re- 
newing the search after silver on the Marameg. They found 
veins of Lead, at two feet beneath the surface, and confidently ex- 
pected to see silver immediately under the lead. But their suc- 
cess was no better than their predecessors. 

In 1840, the city of St. Louis contained 16,000 people, 1 For- 
eign and 24 Domestic Commission Houses, with a capital of 
^717,000; 214 Retail Stores, with a capital of ^3,875,050; Ma- 
chinery manufactured jgl 69,807; Precious and other Metals,

This City has Water Works^ tvhich partiaHy supply its inhabi- 
tants, and has in expectation a system of Gas Lights. 
ST. LOUIS IN 1843.-^HARBOR, 

The number of Steamboats belonging to the place in 1838 was 
SQ; in 1844, (January 1st) 100; with a custom house tonnage of 
15,296. The tiymber of boats engaged in St. Louis trade in 
1842-3 was 273. Arrivals in 1842, 2051 ; in 1843, 2057. 

The exports of 1841 in \vheat ground and unground, were 
1,147,000 bushels-; for 1843, 1,350,000. Export of Tobacco A. 
D. 1843, 19,730 hogsheads and 707 boxes. Hogs killed in 1843, 
197,500. Hides shipped, 120,000. Hemp, 17,000 tons. Lead, 
609,186 pigs, and 3,624 boxes. 

In the late memorial of her citizens to Congress, the import and 
export trade of the city is estimated at 49,000,000 per annum. 
Her population is estimated at 30,000. Twenty-five boats belong- 
ing to the city were lost or seriously damaged in 1842-3 : Total 
loss ^511,500, and twelve boats owned elsewhere, but trading 
there suffered in boat and cargo losses in the same year amount- 
ing to ^257,000. The Insurance Companies of St. Louis paid for 
losses on merchandise during four years prior to 1841 the sum of 
^1,036,060, 

The inhabitants of the City have made earnest appeals to Con- 
gress for aid in averting a threatened change in the channel of the 
River Mississippi, in front of the town. They represent, that 
there is a continual enlargement of the bed of the River on the 
Illinois side, and a constant filling on the Missouri shore, from 
the centre of the city downward^ and also, that many miles east- 
ward there are a series of Lakes, evidently the ancient channel 
of the Mississippi, these Lakes or Lagunes extend northward to 
the mouth of the Missouri. The head of one of these is near the 
present shore, a few miles below Alton, and the turbulent current 
of the Missouri entering here is fast removing the barrier between 
the present and the ancient channel. It is represented that the 
River will resume its old track in a few years, and re-enter the 
present bed many miles below St. Louis unless prevented by ar- 
tificial means. Extensive constructions are also demanded at the 

24 



380 Si, Louis. 

town to direct the water from the Illinois side, and return it to the 
ground occupied by the River when the City was established. 
The mischief here is said to have been caused, in part, by the 
presence of Boats attached to the Western Shore. The flow of 
the stream being nearly equally divided by an Island, had little 
preference for one channel over the other. But a collection of 
boats always occupying the Western pass, gave a preponderance 
to the flow of the eastern, which naturally began to enlarge and 
deepen, until it now discharges 3-11 more water than the other. 
Other and unknown causes probably have assisted in the change, 
an operation every where visible in the Lower Mississippi, a sunk- 
en log, the wreck of a Boat, or the clearing of a piece of shore, 
may give new direction to the River, undermining high banks 
and filling up deep pools. 

Expensive works are recommended, to resist the tendency of 
the stream at and above St. Louis, and force it along the quays or 
landing, which rest upon Lime Rock. 

These works were commenced in 1838, but the first appropria- 
tion was soon exhausted, no further sums were advanced, and the 
ever active current which it has intended to restrain, overcame 
the obstructions raised against its domain and continued its wan- 
ton course over the ruins. 
The Revenue of St. Louis for the year 1843, jgl 30,000 

For the year 1844, according to the best calculation, 170,000 
The Debt of St. Louis is now about 860,000

MEMPHIS. 



The city of Memphis is situated on what is termed the fourth 
Chickasaw bluffs upon the Mississippi River, in latitude 35* 11' 
in the south western extremity of the State of Tennessee, at the 
distance of 600 miles below Louisville, and about 400 above Vicks- 
Ijurg. 

This place has many decided advantages; the location is very 
fine indeed, it being upon tlie highest ridge of land and from one 
hundred to one hundred and fifty feet above high water mark, 
commanding an extensive view of the river above and below. Its 
appearance from which at a distance is very imposing. The cli- 
mate is often eulogised as being preferable to any other in the U. 
States, neither extreme being intense. 

It was first settled in tlie year 1820, but increased in pop- 
ulation slowly until the years 1840-1, since which time it has 
probably more than doubled, and its increase still goes on. It has 
already attained much importance from its population and business. 
The spirit of improvement is evidently here. At the first glance 
^t is readily perceived that the city is of recent growth. The pres- 
ent population does not vary much from 7;000. Memphis 
contains the following pu'blie buildings, — 5 churches, viz.; 1 
Catholic, 1 Baptist, 1 Methodist, 1 Presbyterian, and I Episcopal; 
a market; 4 hotels — three large and new. The Gayoso House is 
considered the finest building in the place. One bank and two 
branch banks. The Farmers' and Merchants' bank is a very 
Ijeautiful structure, and possesses a capital of ^600,000» There 



402 Memphis^ 

is also a hospital ;^ and the United State* Government fkave- eatafe- 
I'ished an arsenal which will add somewhat to the place. One In- 
surance Company has been recently incorporated. This place has« 
been talked of with reference to its eligibleness as a poiat for ship 
bailding, the country around producing a great aband-anee of the- 
oak, suitable for that purpose.. 

The soil in the vicinity of Memphis^ and for about fifty miles- 
surroundings is undoubtedly equal if not superior to any in the- 
state, e^cially for the caltiration of eottonv and tobacco. But 
little tobacco, however, is raised except what is required for the 
consumption of its inhabitants. Cotton is tbestaple production of 
the country, and from this point is shipped nearly one tenth of 
the whole amount sent to New Orleans ;. 80,000 bales being shipped 
annually. 

Real estate is consitJered low here in proportion to the rents 
paid for buildings; good stores renting from ^^500 to $l,OOQi' 
per annum. It seems almost impossible to build fast enough to 
supply the demand. 

Memphis is aibout 245 miles from Nashville, the eapitol of 
the state, the road to which passes ihrough the following places — 
SommervilJe, Bolivar, Jackson, Huntingdon, Camden, Waverly 
and Charlotte, all of which are county towns* 

A railroad is contemplated from this city to Lagrange, a dis- 
tance of 50 miles, upon which ^432,000 have already been expen- 
ded. There is also a branch of this road from Moscaw to Som- 
merville, whieh is graded. 

The revenue of this city is estimated at ^20,000 per aanun);,, 
■which is about equal to the expenditure.

VICKSBURG. 



This city lies upon the East bank of the Mississippi river, in 
North latitude SSi degrees, 500 miles below the mouth of the 
Ohio, and 400 miles above New Orleans. It is situated upon a 
hill, the highest elevation of which is 200 feet above high water 
mark. It was incorporated a town in March, 1825, and a city 
in 1836. 

A large amount of business is yearly transacted here. The 
chief production of the country is cotton; an average of 75,000 
bales per annum is shipped to New Orleans. Many improvements, 
long needed for the city, have recently been commenced, with a 
spirit which augurs well for their further advancement. 

The city numbers five churches, viz : one Episcopal, one Pres- 
byterian, one Methodist, one Baptist, and one Roman Catholic. 
This being the county seat, there is a Court House and Jail here, 
a city Hospital, four Hotels, one Foundery, and two very fine 
brick Banking Institutions, neither of which are now doing busi- 
ness ; twelve Schools are in operation, in a flourishing condition, 
averaging thirty scholars each ; one of them is a Free School, 
established upon the Common School system of the New England 
Slates, and the only one of that character in the Southern country. 
The land in the vicinity of Vicksburg is of a black loamy nature, 
generally undulating, extremely rich and fertile, and well adapted 
for the growing of most kinds of grain, as well as tobacco, though 
little attention is paid to its production. 

Real estate is at present low, but steadily advancing in value. 
The population is estimated at 3,500. A Railroad is completed 



Vickshurg. 



413 



from Vicksburg to Jackson, the seat of government for Misslasippi, 
a distance of fifty miles, intersecting the Nashville road ; also, one 
leading to Benton, the county seat of Yazoo county ; also, one 
leading to Port Gibson, Claiborne county seat, thus extending on 
to Natchez. 

The water in the channel, opposite the city, is ascertained to be 
from 90 to 300 feet deep, and is supposed to be of sufficient depth 
at any time to be navigated by ships of the largest class. If such 
is the case, a Naval Depot may at some time be established here. 

The revenue of Vicksburg is about ^26,000 per annum, and 
the expenditures for the year ending April Ist, 1844, is about 
^15,000. The present debt of the city is ^40,000, which is 
rapidly decreasing, as is shown by the excess of revenue over 
the expenditure.

MTCHEZ. 



Monsieur Bienville concluded, at first view, that this place 
would be as valuable for trade, as it was beautiful to the eye. 
The Natchez Indians were in occupation ; but this did not hinder 
him from immediately laying out a Fort, and proceeding with its 
construction. This was in 1719. The great Chief of the Natchez, 
being absolute, and not prefering the village of his nation, had his 
abode in the interior, and the town was not well filled with his 
people. 

But Fort Rosalie was, in the eyes of the Natchez, a bold in- 
trusion, for which they finally determined to retaliate. In the 
Fall of 1721, concessions or grants had enclosed the Indian vil- 
lage entirely ; and plantations of cotton, indigo and tobacco were 
in cultivation on every side. A considerable number of families 
had collected around the Fort, attracted by the beauty of the place, 
the delicious nature of the climate, and the luxuriance of the soil. 
But, according to the pious traveler Charleroix, they were sadly 
out of order in their morals. He says, " I soon discovered the 
effects of the want of sacrament, an indifference to religion. 
There were even many who did not profit by my presence, to 
put their affairs of conscience in order. Great numbers appeared, 
however, to obtain the sanction of the church to their matrimonial 
engagements ; they had for years been living together without 
scruple, under an arrangement entered into before the command- 
ant and the principal civil officer, alleging, by way of excuse, the 
necessity of peopling the country, and the absence of a priest. 
When I told them, they should, for so important a matter, have 



Natchez. 42 S 

gone to New Orleans, thej replied, that they were unable to bear 
the expense, or to lose the time. Considering the evil as already 
done, and the question was now Only to remedy it, I performed 
the ceremony as desired. Such as presented themselves, I con- 
fessed ; but the number was not as large as I had hoped." 

Leaving his blessing with the villages, he journeyed onward 
towards the gulf; and at Cannes Brule, heard the first vespers, 
and saw the first cross since he had left the River Illinois. He 
says that the " Point Coupe,'' 5 leagues below Red River, waff 
made by the Canadians, who, in high water, dug a small canal 
across the neck of a 14 league bend. A league is the 30th part of 
a degree. The Natchez Indians having engaged their confeder- 
ates, planned a terrible revenge. Like Pontiac, 40 years after, 
they meditated a massacre of the French, at every post on the 
same day, and each party, that there should be no uncertainty in 
the day of attack, as it departed from the council towards its par- 
ticular garrison, took a bundle of sticks, equal in number to each of 
the other bundles, and denoting the days to intervene before the 
assault, one to be drawn each day. A woman among the Natchez 
stealthily drew out some of the rods from their bundle, which 
caused a premature attack. 

The settlements at Yazoo and Natchez were extirpated, and 
those who were enabled to flee arrived at the other garrisons be- 
fore the day when the bundlesoftheothernations were exhausted. 
The attack was everywhere made, but in no other cases did it 
succeed. 

Perier was the successor to Bienville. His arrangements for 
avenging the loss of his people were perfected, and he moved 
against the Natchez fort with his own troops and 700 Choctaws. 
Although he had seven cannon the Indians were so well fortified 
that they resisted the attack one month and then capitulated. The 
prisoners were restored, and hostages for their future behavior de- 
livered to the French. The Natchez, however, did not relin- 
quish their designs; and in 1731 Monsieur Perier organized an- 
other expedition against them, which was destined for a fort where 
they had retreated for up the Black River, a branch of the Red 
River. Here mortara were placed, parallels laid out, trenches 
opened, batteries constructed, as in the approach to a regular 
work. At the expiration of 25 days, offers of capitulation were 



424 Natchez. 

made, Perier had determined upon their extermination. He 
first required the delivery of all prisoners and negroes, and then, 
these being given up, he demanded an unconditional surrender. 
A few of the Natchez escaped across a ba3'ou, but the principal 
warriors of the tribe became prisoners of war by capitulation. 
At another fortress on Red River, an officer by the name of St. 
Denys arrived with a force and captured 200 Indians, of the same 
nation. All the prisoners were made slaves and the tribe of the 
Natchez was blotted out. The ruins of Fort Rosalie were visible 
in 1823, and the city contained 700 people. 

The City now presents a most beautiful appearance, the houses 
being in general finely and tastefully constructed, and the situation 
being very elligible they appear to the best advantage; the upper 
part of the place is 150 feet above high water mark. The Public 
Buildings are as follows; 4 Churches, viz, 1 Roman Catholic; 1 
Episcopal; 1 Methodist; 1 Presbyterian; all of them neat and 
durable; 3 Hotels 4 Banking Institutions, buildings that greatly 
^ornament the city; a Hospital; a very fine Masonic Hall, where 
the children of Masons free of charge, and those who are enabled 
to pay, are educated; there are Five efficient Fire Companies; 
the Court House and Jail both do credit to the place; the Market 
House is one of the best to be found in any of the Southern Cit- 
ies; the Schools, of which there are several, are in a very pros- 
perous condition. 

The present business of Natchez, is quite extensive, and the 
future prospects flattering. The population is estimated at about 
6,000. 

The country around is generally broken, but rich and highly 
cultivated. Cotton is the staple product, the average amount 
shipped to New Orleans isN50,000 bales annually. The climate 
aud soil are admirably adapted for the culture of the Grape, but 
this branch of agriculture has not as yet attracted much attention 
in this part of the country. 

This place is the termination of a Rail Road which is doing a fair 
amount of business, the roads generall}^, leading from here are 
good, the distance from Natchez to Jackson, the capital of the 
State is 175 miles. 

The Revenue of this place during the present year is about 
{^25,000 the expenditures ^14,000; the City Debt ^20,000.

NEW-ORLEANS, 



WXM^^'^O'* 



Much of the early history of this city is comprised in our pre- 
iminary sketch, which embraces that of Louisiana. 

From the year 1717, New-Orleans has been the central and 
controlling point of a vast region ; the theatre of important events ; 
a city whose political and commercial regulations have been felt 
to the remotest sources of the waters that flow past its wharves. 

The town was located on a neck of low land, between lake 
Borgne and the river, as the engineers of Governor Bienville 
said, to place it beyond the reach of a naval enemy, and, at the 
same time, have feasible communications with the sea and the 
interior. Mousiana, the father of Charleroix, who spent the 
first half of the year 1732 at the place, does not at all approve of 
the selection of the engineer, and gives his reasons at length. He 
much prefers a " hill," on the other side of the river, about twenty 
leagues from the sea; near which the "Chaounchas," a tribe of 
Indians driven from New-Orleans, were then sitting. This tribe 
held the remains of their dead in such esteem, that, in their re- 
moval, the bones of their ancestors were uncovered, and borne to 
their new village. 

The worthy Padre, does not give a very flattering account of 
the germ of one of the great cities of Christendom; and concludes 
that it will not become a place of much consequence. He pre- 
fers the town of Natchez as a capital and commercial point. At 
New Orleans he found two or three respectable houses, a wooden 
Magazine, and a few miserable barracks. Two hundred persons 



New Orleans* 431 

had arrived there to build up a City, who are encamped on the 
Shore, and had not thought of protecting themselves against the 
weather or the sun. They are contentedly waiting for the En- 
gineer to furnish his plan of the town. At length he offers them 
a very beautiful plat of Streets, Buildings and Wharves; and 
departs upon other duties. From the town to the Sea, there were 
but few "concessions" in the day of Charleroix; because the 
grounds were subject to the floods of the River. 

The Colony was now under the guidance of the "Company of 
the West," in which the noted Financier John Law, acted a con- 
spicuous part. For himself, there was reserved a territory of four 
Leagues on the Arkansas, and several Germans and French were 
engaged to occupy it under him, as the Grand Duke. Corat's 
Grant had been resigned in 1717; and Law's Company received a 
Charter at once. About 2000 of his subjects of the Western Duchy, 
embarked for America, and in the meantime he failed, in all his 
schemes of wealth and grandeur, and the deserted Germans were 
dispersed and lost — This was in 1720 — Louisiana did not flourish. 
The Crown lent the Company money, and expended much for 
troops and military preparations against the Indians. In 1731 
the Government had a judgment of 20,000,000 of francs against 
them, and to cancel, it received a re-conveyance of the entire re- 
gion. 

Du Fratre, who died in the country; says that in 1736, there 
were only four feeble villages in existence. In 1749 the popula- 
tion of the Mississippi, was reckoned at 7,000. 

In the year 1778, New Orleans had become a city in appearance 
and density. Insomuch that a fire which broke out consumed an im- 
mense amount of property. It was at this moment the generosity 
of the French character shone forth in its brilliancy and goodness. 

Those who had abandoned the place in 1765, and preferring 
their own laws and customs to those of the Spanish, had retired to 
St. Domingo, a French Colony, were applied to by Governor Car- 
ondelet for assistance, under the pressure of this great calamity. 
Not only provisions and goods for the needy were sent, but a frigate 
loaded with timber to re-place the buildings consumed by the fire. 
The price of flour in 1787 was ^22 per barrel, and as late as 1805, 
cheese was sold at 37§ cents. 



432 New Orleans. 

COMMERCE. 

Our first statement respecting the trade in produce between N. 
Orleans and the upper country is in the year 1746, when it is said 
that the amount of flour which descended the river was 800,000 
pounds — equal to 4030 barrels. 

In 1817 the commerce of the Ohio was carried on in 20 barges 
of 100 tons each, making one trip yearly, and if fully loaded they 
deposited in New Orleans, 2,000 tons of merchandize. The value 
of the return trade must have been much greater than that of the 
descending tonnage, but we cannot give an opinion of its amount. 

Thirty-three years afterwards, in 1841-2, the property imported 
from abroad into New Orleans is given upon good authority at 
^35,764,477. In December, 1843, there were 600 ships in the 
port of New Orleans at one time, taking freight for all parts of the 
world. From this fact and others, the exports for that year are 
estimated at ^50,000,000. 

If there is a balance or equilibrium in trade at this point, this 
50,000,000 of exports represents an equal sum of return property 
called imports. But it is generally thought that there is a differ- 
ence against the valley, and therefore that 50,000,000 is not large 
enough to express the amount of imported goods. Steamboat ar- 
rivals in 1843, 2,324. 

BUSINESS AND MANUFACTURES. 
The population in 1840 numbered 102,193. Foreign Commis- 
sion Houses 8; domestic 375. Retail Stores 1881, with a capital 
of ^11,018,225. Thirty-two lumber yards; capital ^67,800. 
Bricks and lime made in value, ^102,000. Cotton manufactures, 
sgl8,000. Manufactured tobacco, ^100,000. Six furnaces with 
a capital of ^355,000. Refined sugar, ^700,000. Product of 
mills, 1^70,000. Capital invested in all kinds of manufactures, 
§1,774,200. 

WATER WORKS. 
A charter was granted in the year 1833 to a company invested 
with banking privileges, for the construction of water works for 
the purpose of supplying the city with water from the Mississippi 
river. The reservoir for the water was constructed on an artifi- 
cial mound, the earth being obtained from the botl.om of the river, 
amounting to": 70,000 cubic yards. The reservoir is 250 feet 
square, and divided into four compartments, measuring each US 



New Orleans. 433 

feet in the clear. The walls and bottom forming the reservoir are 
built of brick, and plastered with hydraulic cement This reser- 
voir is supplied with water from the Mississippi river, by plunge 
pumps, worked by a condensing engine, acting on Bolton & Watt's 
plan. 

COTTON PRESSES. 

There are two cotton presses in the city, one designated the 
Levee Steam Cotton Press; the other the New Orlea7is Cotton 
Press; — the former is a plain, neat structure, and is capable of 
pressing 200,000 bales of cotton per annum. The cost for the 
construction of it was ^500,000. 

The Orleans press is the largest one in the world. The ground 
occupied by the establishment is 632 feet in length by 308 in 
breadth, and is nearly covered by buildings. 

The whole was completed in 1835 at a cost, including the site, 
of ^753,558. This establishment can store 25,000 bales of cotton, 
and compresses, upon an average, 150,000 bales per annum.

♦♦ 

Report of Committee on the Trial of this Safe. 



New-York, August 30, 1842. 
We, the undersigned, attended by request, a trial by fire, of 
Robertson & Rich's Salamander Safe and Scott's Patent Asbes- 
tos Safe. The trial was made in a furnace of great power, built 
for the purpose, at the foot of Wall street on the 26th inst. The 
principal object was to test the fire proof qualities of Robertson 
i & Rich's Safe. The Safes were placed in the furnace and the 
^ fire lighted at a quarter to 11, A. M., and continued till 4 P. M. 
^ On opening the furnance at that time, Scott's Safe, with its con- 
S tents was found to be completely destroyed, but Robertson & 
< Rich's Safe to be in perfect order: at 4^ the iron of the lower 
^ part of Robertson & Rich's Safe was discovered to have melted 
\ oflT, leaving the Salamander preparation firm and entire : in re- 
\ moving the Safe before the fire was entirely extinguished, the 
■i bottom was accidentally forced off by its adhering to the bars of 
' the furnance, thereby exposing the inner case to the fire; part of 
( the papers were consequently burned and the remainder slightly

^ scorched. The heat was so intense that the wrought iron frame, 
5 the cast iron wheels of the safe, and even the bricks of the fur- 
^ nace melted, yet the greater part of the mahogany case remains 
'^ sound and uninjured. During the five hours the fire was burn- 
^ ing, four and a half loads of Pine Wood, and 96 bushels of Char- 
<^ coal were consumed. 

^ The preservation of any of the papers in such an intense heat 
^ for five hours, is conclusive evidence that this safe would be proof 
<! against fire in the burning of any store or warehouse. Judging 
i from the result of this experiment, we think Robertson & Rich's 
^ Safe equal to any yet invented for the preservation of books and 

< papers from fire, and entitled to the confidence of the community.

} (From Hunt's Merchants' Magazine for May, 1843.^ \ 
\ FIRE PROOF SAFES.— THE SALAMANDER, i 

^ The universal destruction of Safes in the great fire of 1835, < 
^ undoubtedly induced a prejudice against those then in use, and \ 
<! in our opinion very justly. Since that time the Salamander^ 
^ Safe has been invented, and repeatedly tested; and not a single \ 

< case of the destruction of the contents of one of them has come } 
( to our knowledge, although we have made diligent inquir3^ 

< Indeed we believe the only objection to them has been, that 
i they went to the other extreme, and injured the books and pa- 
<■ pers by dampness. This difficulty, we are pleased to learn, has 

been entirely overcome by the Improved Salamander Safe man- 
ufactured by ROBERTSON & RICH. In order, however, to 
speak more understandingly of a matter of so much importance 
to the mercantile community, we visited the manufactory a short 



New Orleans. 523 



< 

'} time since, and witnessed an experiment which fully satisfied us 
;' of the wonderful properties of the Salamander preparation to 
•; resist the influences of the most intense heat. A piece of the 

composition with which the safes are lined, about six inches^ 
'square and two in thickness, was laid on a blacksmith's forge, s 
; and the full and constant force of the bellows applied to it for the > 
': space of about ten minutes, when it was found to have resisted ) 
^ the fire so effectually that we laid our naked hand on it, feeling I 
I only a gentle warmth. On turning it over, the part next to the > 
: fire did not retain heat enough to burn a card or light a paper ; \ 
i while a bar of iron in the forge about half the time was heated to ^ 
J^ whiteness. This experiment, simple as it is, must convince; 
J every one who may witness it, as it did us at the time, that a Safe \ 
\ fitted with three or four inches of this material could not be heated ? 
; through at the burning of a store in any possible situation in S 
; which it might be placed. I 

\ Some of our merchants have witnessed similar experiments,) 
i and have expressed their entire confidence as to the security of^ 
i this safe. With these facts in view, we cordially commend the ^ 
) article to the attention of merchants and bankers, and to the > 
I State and County authorities throughout the Union, who desire \ 
r to render secure the valuable papers committed to their charge. ? 
'• The Improved Salamander Safes are made of stout ) 
( wrought bar and plate iron, riveted together in the most substan-^ 
; tial manner, and lined with a chemical preparation, which is a > 
^non-conductor of heat and cannot be destroyed by fire. The;> 
^ Locks are of a superior construction, being guarded by thief, ^ 
) detectors, which renders it impossible to pick them. The supe-> 
S' riority of these Safes, over all others now in use, consists in ) 
? their not being only Fire Proof, bid free from dampness, that> 
'- being the objection to all other Salamander Safes. The subscri- ) 
^ ber invites any person wishing to purchase, who has doubts of > 
; their being Fire Proof, to accompany him to the manufactory in ? 
^ this City, where he will convince even the most incredulous, ^ 
) that perfect reliance may be placed on them. ; 

; The above Safes are finished in the neatest manner, will be^ 
^ made to order of any size and pattern and fitted to contain ; 
; Plate, Jewelry, Sfc. For sale by I
